Many reasons to build high school on Cemetery Road
As in the old nursery rhyme, "The time has come the walrus said to talk of many things; of shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings."
School mayhem leaves disturbing questions
I am writing to you in regard to the Littleton, Colorado, school shooting. This type of activity is becoming a little too common within our schools, and there is only one question to be asked: Why?
School site questions produce uncertainty
Before I can vote on the school land deal there are questions that nobody seems to know the answers to.
Crucial meeting requires public participation
Saturday, April 24, we heard the school superintendent compare the Cemetery Road and Mann Valley sites for a location of the new high school. We toured the sites also, looking for traffic safety and congestion points, visualizing the utility hookup requirements and counting out playing fields.
Monday's vote an extension of approved referendum
When the Vote Yes for Education Committee promoted the high school referendum, it communicated to citizens that Cemetery Road was the school board's preferred location for the new school.
Diligent approach points to voting for Cemetery Road
Last December, our community chose to make a significant investment in our local schools by voting to build a new high school and to upgrade the existing high school for an expanded middle school. Appropriately, due to the costs involved, that decision came after much citizen input and deliberation.
Cemetery Road site is sensible choice
When the citizens of the River Falls School District vote for the placement of a high school at Mann Valley or Cemetery Road, they should consider some of the facts taken from the city's comprehensive sanitary sewer study by Ayres Associates Oil in 1998.
Vote tied to Cemetery Rd.
Last year I attended the school board meeting in which the board voted to propose building a new high school on the Cemetery Road site.
New laws help victims
The time-honored tradition of National Crime Victims' Rights Week is scheduled for April 25 to May 1. This year's theme, "Victims' Voices: Silent No More," emphasizes the power of the personal stories of victims and how their individual and collective voices have improved our justice system and made our communities safer.
