If you click on the post and then click on the March 13 meeting, you will see that prior to the public session on Monday, the Evansville School District Board will be meeting at 6:15PM to discuss in private session negotiations for purchase of land for future school use. You might wonder why?
The land that had been previously designated for future school on the westside on future land use maps, was found to be located in -----swampland or high water area. So...the school board is looking for some dry land.
The Observer salutes the looking for dry land. After all,"We are the Blue Devils, not the swamp dogs. We build on the high ground."
The Observer thinks that the time frame for the future use is in 15 years. Hopefully not much sooner.
The public will not be allowed into this private session. However, if you were, would you like to see an additional school location on the west or east side? Explain your answer.

it seems really silly that we are going to have schools all over town. would it have not been wiser when they build the h.s. to have gone east then, purchasing enough land at that time for the future.
ReplyDeleteIt was not long after they build the high school they were complaining already about enough space at the other schools, currently the middle school is stuffed, I just think they have done a very poor job planning. I think they think the tax payers are just going to keep opening their wallets to cover their mistakes. By the way another school? How many principals and staff will we hire for this one???
