Danville School Tax vote.........

[alabasterjar]

If I stop contributing to my church or the NRA because I don't like the way they spend the money, there is a very low chance that agents with arrest warrants will show up at my house.

Exactly.

Can someone explain what they want to do with two pools? Where does one school system put TWO pools? One in the high school and one in the middle school, or ??? My kids are swimmers and I can actually sympathize with wanting aquatic upgrades... most school natatoriums are pretty bad. But seriously, TWO pools?

My local schools have two pools, yes middle and high school. But the middle school used to be the H.S.

Our swim team just flopped around on the gym floor... and we liked it!

My school didn't have a swim team....somehow we survived.

The plan is to turn the existing pool into a band performance area.....then build an addition that is a natatorium. That building would contain both pools....I am not sure why 2 pools? Maybe a pool for diving and a pool for swimming? They are 25M pools, whatever that means. I don't follow swimming. Is a 25M pool Olympic size? Total cost $10-12M. I think they are asking for $50-52M total. We actually have 2 votes....1 for buildings and 1 for administration purposes (teacher raises and pensions I think).

I forgot to mention we just spent $750,000+ last year to rebuild a baseball field.....

25 meters- half the length of a "Olympic Sized" pool which is 50 meters long and 25 meters wide.

Diving would kinda suck though, I'd imagine...

Oh, and for safety sake, if I ever start talking positively about raising my own taxes so the school can put in a pool...or 2 pools, call 911. I have probably suffered a stroke.

We will probably never know unless your typing start to droop, you’re a lawyer after all.

The referendum was soundly defeated. Maybe they can come up with a more realistic plan for May.

Washington, Indiana lost also. Vigo county was approved.

Center grove school safety failed. Interestingly CG police dept has five officers and their chief is the highest paid one in Johnson county

I'm so glad to see people standing up to these schools and saying no for once. Theives

There is more than enough money to run these schools. The waste is out of control.

Zionsville approved theirs.

Both of Huntington Co.'s referendums went down to defeat.


Well, it's good news for the doctors that get to deal with the kids respiratory diseases from the leaky, moldy HS.

Things such as this absolutely need to be dealt with. No question. When in the trades we dealt with "Sick building" issues a lot.

The real issues come when the bids go out and the moneys start to exchange hands.......Ask me how I know this. It is most enlightening.
