Use of reserves in the Capital Fund was not considered an option to pay for these required upgrades. Instead, the District waited four years to present a capital levy to the voters to pay for these changes.<BR/><BR/>Why did the District choose to guard its capital reserves when it came to the health and welfare of staff and potentially students? More importantly why did it not when it came to recent land dealings? Who made these decisions and why did the School Board allow it to happen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
