[Vision2020] Public Education & Development

Donovan et. al.

Given that the proposed new high school was not planned comprehensively 
according to the goals of what some call "smart growth," at least as far as I could 
determine, I seriously considered voting against it.  But the planning phase 
for the proposed new high school was intended to include public input after 
the levy vote.  I will assume this means that public input could alter how the 
high school would be built?  That a discussion regarding an open or closed 
campus, or traffic problems, could still be on the table?

However, it seems to me that before the public voted on the levy, MSD should 
have allowed a lot more public input and discussion to address all voter 
concerns.  With individuals standing on street corners holding signs asserting they 
were against the "prison school," MSD obviously needed a better public 
relations campaign to counter the extreme spin coming from some citizens.
