Tony B, At this time I could not support phase 2 due to no auditorium. MHS has one of the best auditoriums in the GMC. It seats more, and the stage is nuch larger as is the set construction area. It serves no purpose to build a new HS and the bus students to another facility to rehearse.

Smartman,

I agree that the stage at the current MHS is one of the best in the area. My suggestion was for the option to build a new HS bldg. If they stay at their current location, then what I proposed would be unnecessary.

Now, wait a minute!!!!

Today's Journal.....

District seeks input on 5 construction options for high school, middle school
Architects present five plans to district’s facilities panel, public

MIDDLETOWN — The turnout may have been small but the information gathered could prove to be a big help as Middletown City Schools updates its master plan for secondary schools.

During two community forums Thursday, about 20 people provided input to the district’s facilities committee and architects with Celina-based Fanning Howey.

Five options for Phase 2 Master Plan to renovate or construct new middle and high schools were presented; those in attendance voted on their most-favored choices.

• Option 1: Cost $69 million to build a new high school and remodel the current high school for grades sixth through eighth.

• Option 2: Cost $62 million to build a new middle school for grades sixth through eighth and renovate and expand the high school to add 60,000-square-feet.

• Option 3: Cost $49 million to build a middle school for grades seventh and eighth, and renovate and expand the high school.

• Option 4: Cost $54 million to build a new high school and a new middle school for grades seventh and eighth.

• Option 5: Cost $55 million to build a school for grades seventh through ninth and renovate the high school.

EVERY ONE OF THESE OPTIONS ARE TO BUILD NEW SCHOOLS. ISN'T THERE AN OPTION TO RETAIN WHAT WE HAVE AND USE THE MONEY TO UPGRADE WHAT WE HAVE? THIS IS A "LOADED DICE" SCENARIO. NO MATTER WHAT DIRECTION THEY GO, SOME NEW SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE BUILT AT SOME LEVEL SOMEWHERE. THEY CAN'T CONVINCE ANYONE YET THAT THE NEW ELEMENTARIES HELPED THIS DISTRICT, MUCH LESS SUGGEST WE BUILD MORE. I KNEW THEY WERE HEADED THE NEW SCHOOL ROUTE BEFORE ANY OF THIS STARTED.

74% PAID BY THE PEOPLE AND ONLY 26% PAID FOR BY THE STATE? NOT A VERY GOOD BREAKOUT, IS IT? BAD TIME TO BE ASKING ANYONE FOR MONEY FOLK.

GOOD LUCK IN GETTING THIS PASSED IF IT GOES BEFORE THE VOTERS.

The School Board and its leadership have lost complete and all credibility. Of 5 options, not one was to simply upgrade buildings. It was either build one, upgrade another, or build two new ones. The firm wants to build, they make more money. How outrageous. And to use this as the argument:“

"Buildings are important factors to attracting families to the community, increasing performance of students, reducing absenteeism,” said Stephen Wilczynski, executive director of Fanning Howey.

If that is the case, as the elementary schools therefore failed, there is NO justification for this. I have been in contact and a Committee is being formed, to solicit the paid consultation of the man in West Chester that leads the charge against their school levies. He was on WLW 700 yesterday, and really takes a no prisoner attitude towards such waste, and is very well versed in defeating school levies. Bring it on BOE, this one is going to fail.

Would this be the same kook is just left the NoLakota group for his offensive, cowboy rantings?

NoLakota organization support? Yes.

The man whom wrote the blog about dumb wives voting for levies without any business acumen and husbands sticking $100.00 bills in purse? No.
