Scal1024,

Not quite sure where to begin. Hoiw would it have been harder to get "their guy" in if they just let his contract expire? Couldn't they just let it expire and then hire D'Agostino? That wouldn't have been much more difficult, in my opinion. Are you sure that only 3 SC members were there when the vote to remove Horoschak was taken? I though it may have been a 3-2 vote, but I could be wrong on that. I guess you're pretty well connected (or clairvoyant) in your certainty that Bushell or Mullen will be the next Super.

The LTFPC was not a 2 year recommendation. It was for repurposing Vets in 2014, closing Gorton & Aldrich in 2015, which allows the move to all day K and Middle in 2016 and 2017. For the record, my issue w/ the Gorton decision was that it precluded going to middles school for at least 6-7 years, perhaps longer and that it hindered all day K too. The current recommendation would've resulted in a facilities set up that made middle school and all day K easy to implement, and close the two oldets buildings at the secondary level, thus avoiding all the costs associated with them.

Who blamed the unions? You completely misread / misunderstood what I said. I just stated a fact that the reason we're noit in middle school is, in part, because of some contractual language that doesn't allow for Admin to unilaterally make that decision. if you consider that blame, then I can't help you. Ask JIm Ginolfi if there contractual language that need to be fixed/changed/clarified in order to move to middle school. You're accusing me of being political? That's rich. Find any post here, or comment I've given that's political - theyre not there.

Your whole argument on the transparency is weak. You equate the result of declining enrollment to mean that we now have too many old people who can't go online to see and or print the docs, it that your contention?

As far as whose job is cut, your argument is a bit more populist than reasonable. As far as the past savings from other school closures, what do you want to know? That it bought new reading texts, math texts, Chrome carts, etc?? Well, tha'ts where it went as well as not having to pay to light and heat the buildings that remain closed. And from staff reductions.

Your statement that everybody on the committee had a local tie infers that the only way a district can consolidate schools is to use people who do not live in the city. OK. I'd simply ask you to look around and find communities that consolidated that did not use a committee that was comprised, overwhelmingly, of local people. And, see if that committee was not empowered to vote on that consolidation.
