  • johnpaulcoeman--you are so right on this one. Read you link. Looks like all this bunch wants to do is cause confusion. Keep closing school and make bigger ones. The schools now don't have enough teachers to teach the large classes as is. If things keep going this way, we are going to graduate a bunch of kids that are not educated enough to get a job, go to college or anything else. Smaller schools seem to take more time with our kids and teach them. Bigger schools just herd them thru like a bunch of cattle. Some kids need extra help and a bigger school just pushes those children aside. NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND. That is one major joke in a large school.

  • You do know that if you build a new building and move the same students and same teachers into it. You will have the same level of education and a lot more costs. Please explain how this is better.

  • Thanks for taking the time to get this information together. There is however a rumour flying around that plans already exist to add on to the Switz buildings. Is there any truth to this??

  • ..save some money wrv. Don't do like N.D.

    and take years and different school boards

    to finally do it. North Daviess paid advisors

    and consulting firms a lot of money before

    they finally pulled the trigger.

  • Consultants- another way to say cost big money for an opinion.

    What about using people of the area who show respect, conservative yet forward thinking to put a plan together.

    I will say this again - the school board should go out into the State and look at other schools that are the size they want to be years from now - review what they are doing right or wrong.

  • Bigger schools dont mean CHILDREN will be left behind. Children that needs extra help would benifit from the new technology. There is new technology comming out every day to help these students. Our schools are not equipped to handle new technology THEREFORE OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING LEFT BEHIND! The 2 elementries are not that big that the classes would be so large.

  • Small schools or larger schools, It is the job of the administators to make sure the Children Dont Get Left Behind!

  • If it isn't broke, don't fix it.
