[Vision2020] Question 4 WHO IS CQE?

[Donovan Arnold]

Ms Opyr writes,

“how the new high school will really be smaller than the old high school 
despite the fact that its measurements are larger; and we will at last learn 
the true nature of the secret connection between MSD's architectural bid 
process and Donovan's getting a quote from The Windshield Doctor.”

I know Mr. Opyr has an ABD PhD in English not mathematics and the calculator 
function on the MSD website is FBAR, but I would tend to think IMHO she 
could understand that “crowded” is a condition caused the number of students 
per sq. ft., not just the size of the school.

If I have 2,000 students in a building of 200,000 sq ft. they would be more 
crowded then 500 students in a building of 100,000 sq ft. even though the 
building was larger.

See, the building is bigger but the number of people that have to fit inside 
it is greater.

This concept seems to be lost on Ms. Opyr and that is too bad. Using this 
mathematical thinking if three people have $10 together they are richer then 
four people that EACH have $5 because $10 is twice that of $5.


”We should have talked about the renovations at West Park and Russell and 
about the architectural possibilities for the new high school.”

Yes, well we have been trying but the MSD does not know anything about this 
and was unable to answer our questions. So now we are talking about other 
things related to the topic like the fact it will not work and it costs too 
much.

“April 26th cannot come and go fast enough.” Oh, wait, what about the 
conspiracies of the vote not being correct. Butterfly ballots are being used 
right? And what if the bond fails? Are we not going to have to do it again 
but with a realistic plan? And if it does pass, well what about building 
that stadium and auditorium, you are not going to “Vote No for Kids” are 
you? They deserve the best stadium, track and fields, and what about those 
starving bus drivers that cannot eat their unused $6,000 dental benefits? 
They deserve a pay increase too, so let us not forget about them.  We also 
need fishing poles and fish tracking devices for fly fishing, sticks and 
shoe strings will not work like the 1900s and making the economically 
disadvantaged buy $2000 worth of fishing equipment is unfair! Hummers will 
be needed to get them to the creek because you cannot expect the students to 
walk in the mud to get to the site. And after all this we still need ADA 
renovations to the Junior High, Lena, and McDonald which seem to have been 
forgotten in this silver bullet plan that is designed to address all MSD 
facility problems for the next 25 years.

“While the vast majority of us would like to enjoy a quiet banana”

I prefer my bananas with moderate noise, maybe a little yodeling on the 
weekends, however, most the bananas do come quiet (even when you bruise and 
bite them) so the majority are in luck!


Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold
