((I don't believe I signed this yet.)) The classes are large enough and the ride time to school is long enough.

I think it's a horrible idea to have these kids travel so far when fixing up the schools would be a fraction of the cost than remodeling an entire building to accommodate everyone. Smaller classes equals better outcomes with more 1 on 1 time between the students and teachers. I'd rather my son have a better education even if threatened by a tax increase if we don't consolidate.

Please don't create such an horrible consolidation for the whole county. The children are learning best in their appropriately-sized buildings now.

The entire consolidation effort needs to stop. With a shrinking student base it is a colossal waste of money. We will all pay for the slick sales job.

Put in on the ballot! This is something that doesn't just have an effect on school kids and families. This will have an effect on most every one in the community one way or another. It shouldn't be up to those select few school board members to make decisions for the entire county population.

our taxes are out of control now, I can just imagine what will happen if this goes through. To begin with, it's not necessary. We need teachers that are willing to teach, not stick an Ipod in front of a kid.

I think this is a terrible idea! These kids will have to be on busses most of their morning and afternoons. Also taxes are going to be even higher!! The proposal of tax savings was given by the developers!! What do you think they want? The thing that makes them the most money!! There are no reason these schools cannot be renovated!! I would love my child to keep the close connections with their teachers and classmates and I love that I can call the school anytime and they know my kids and where they are at that time!! Combining schools will cause everyone to lose that personal feel. Everyone should really look into all these schools that have combined, the test grades are lower and the taxes are extremely high!!
