[Vision2020] something for the table

[aaron ament]

visionaries,

    let me second mr. rigsby's sentiments.  as of 8:01 tuesdsay it was time to put away past disagreements and move on.
    i am one of the liberals in moscow that voted against the recent MSD bond.  
    i would like to offer an alternate plan, one that addresses my issues.
    grade configuration is not a facilities issue.  keep it separate.
    make a commitment to the schools we have.  spend the maintenance dollars according to the maintenance schedule.  make sure that all safety issues, in all schools are identified and addressed.  make sure all schools are capable of utilizing appropriate technology.
    do the remodels proposed for the elementary schools and remodel the high school within its current footprint.
    condemn all the property surrounding the high school, with the exception of the beautiful brick church on the s.e. corner.  the west side of the block could accommodate at least limited physical activity and the rest of the added area would become a green campus.
    all of the schools should use passive solar water heating,
have solar panels for electricity, and wind power where feasible.
    turn the third floor of the 1912 center into a science annex if upgrades to present spaces proves impractical.
    i voted against what i thought was plan for the 1950's.  give me something built for the 2050's and i will gladly pay the cost.
