Township School District officials are hoping a new website will help district residents see how the $94 million McDowell project will move forward and why it is necessary.
Assistant Superintendent William Hall admitted two years of public discussion hasn't
always been crystal clear. Really? Fact is, this is not by accident. The School Board knew that its long-range plan to destroy a solid building and a better-than-average athletic facility would not be well received by the vast majority of residents.
In May, a private poll verified the negative public sentiment. Individuals have spoken out at school board meetings, as well as in continuous letters to the editor against this project. Finally, in July, our arrogant board voted to proceed with its agenda. As Millcreek schools Superintendent Michael Golde continues to promote the worth of the project, one senses that our teachers have been cautioned not to speak against it. I guess the anti-bullying program pertains only to our students.
The fact remains that a handful of self-important individuals have come together to promote their own agendas. They have dictated to our community a massive, long-term, unnecessary cost, in the face of seriously poor economic times.
The clarity of a better website will not sell the values of a profoundly bad project at the worst possible time. Long after the school board has been voted out, and the superintendent has moved on, we, the residents, would be left dealing with the expense and mess.
