I do not have children in school. Mine are all raised but I do have grandkids in this school district. Do you people not understand how much money you will lose by not bussing the kids to Chaparral, also they have the room. I went to Attica K-12 was in the same building, no problems only benefits.

I believe that when all the money was spent to update Anthony, Harper & Chaparral a couple of years ago, they should have built one amazing complex and that would have reduced a lot of the overhead for the school district. The money saved could have been used to improve academics.

I know kids that were going to be in Junior High next year that were looking forward to having classes at CHS.

whether you agree or disagree with the outcome of the vote to say "WE CANNOT DISCUSS" is not what I spent 20 plus years defending - "We The People"

Progress should never be squelched by tradition and fear of change.

Chaparral has the space for the JH kids and they benefit because they get more classes offered to them. Plus the younger grades need more room in both towns.

The little kid's have to many kid's in class room's and need more time one on one time and if they don't move the older kid's out there then they can't help the little kid's in class room's. They will be the ones that suffer not the Board members or teacher's but the kids.

Very good discussion. What we are trying to do is educate the public on the key factors and how it affects student learning for the children of USD 361. If you would like more information, we are having another meeting in Harper at 7:00 on Monday, March 31st. The locaiton has yet to be determined.

I do not agree with the boards decision, it limits the value and opportunity of our young students. As an alternative for the future, maybe a new middle school is needed. Possibly at the old Lincoln school in Anthony or a facility just like Chapparal, across the street from the high school maybe.
