PLEASE join your community in insisting that the Washoe County School District builds the best schools for our children while being FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE and not wasting the funding from WC-1. We wish to prevent the loss of Wildcreek Golf Course/Green space where there is a proposal to build a new high school. Wild Creek Golf course is in a flood mitigation plain, a flight path and includes the Orr Ditch. Additionally, the location would create a huge increase in traffic to a location that is already heavily traveled on McCarran near Pyramid, Sullivan and Wedekind. Certainly there are better options than destroying a multi-million dollar useable asset to build in a location that promises to be uneconomically responsible.

The traffic concerns neighbors are sharing continue to underline exactly why this site is a mistake. I am currently reviewing the flood mitigation reports to prepare for our next meeting with the district.

The momentum is undeniable now. Seeing this many people demand better planning is proof that our community refuses to be ignored.

Last time I looked there is quite a lot of OPEN land in Sparks! The fact that WCSD wants to take an historical and beautiful golf course away from the residents of Sparks and Reno residents when there are so many other potential sites not adequately explored is flat out laziness and selfishness on their part.
Please!!! This location is not the best choice. Too many negatives for a High School here: Traffic (huge problem/concern), flight path, flooding issues, the preserve the Mighty Orr Ditch, safety concerns for the children and being on McCarren. Really folks, there has to be a more appropriate location for this proposed High School.
Few would oppose construction of new educational facilities; however, I have yet to communicate with ANYONE who believes that the destruction of Wildcreek Golf Course is the only solution. There is a plethora of alternatives to this tragically misguided plan, and it appears that not even ONE other option has been considered.
From the mountain above the course is a very sacred place for me. If the course goes the mountain will more than likely go as well. My sons cross is on that mountain overlooking wild creek. Please, reconsider .
I'm a teacher in wcsd and think we can find a better space for this school. What about all that wasted space on oddie blvd? Let's revitalize that area!
To my understanding there is other property available for building the High School do not destroy this beautiful Green Space.
I fully support the efforts to stop proposed construction on this beautiful property. There is vacant land that could be used for this purpose and not destroy the only public course in all of Reno.

This is the most beautiful spot In Sparks...It supports numerous varieties of wildlife. With the traffic situation it is a very poor choice to build a high school! I strongly support saving this asset to our community!
