First of all I don't have any dog in this fight. I just can't stand the fact that these people continue to say that consolidation is the only way to make this district work. This group can't get their story straight. I'm not suggesting that there aren't areas to cut, but to continually say that closing schools is the only way out is just as short sighted. Your problem should be with Beth Furtado. She's the one who said that we had to close the schools, it was an urgent matter. She then voted in favor or tabling the consolidation plan! Now she's trying to sound the alarm that this process is taking too long? Well which one is it? You can't vote to table something, and then get upset that you aren't getting results. What kind of leadership is that? Now they go to the Beacon with this garbage trying to sound the alarm again. I bet once again they try to somehow pass this plan because they can't take a stance on anything and they'll fear the consultant will have a differing view. Also someone should tell John Howell that the original plan never guaranteed the middle school model. Nor did it say anything about all day k being implemented. That was the HOPE of the school cmte. had they not tabled the plan. Once again you don't let the facts get in the way of your argument: "in addition with a middle school model, sixth graders would be housed in same schools as 7th and 8th graders. This would open up the rooms for all day kindergarten in the elementary schools". That makes it sound as if that was part of the plan, that was not part of the plan. Once again, that is just thrown out there as if it was so. Furtado should step down. How many committees? How many consolidation proposals is she going to oversee? At some point some people just have to realize they are not being well represented.
