[Vision2020] school facilities discussion

[Sunil Ramalingam]

I will have real trouble voting for a bond that involves shutting down West 
Park and Russell.  Our daughter goes to one right now, and under the present 
configuration will be at Russell in a couple of years.  I really don't want 
to see that change.
