School plans

To the editor:

At the candidates forum Saturday, USD 497 handed out a flier that was to inform the public about the proposed bond issue. Nowhere in this flier was there mention of the schools that are to be closed. Is this honest?

The district has a Web site to explain the bond issue. Its preliminary floor and site plans for Cordley School are in contradiction. One view shows substantial additions to the building, reducing the play area. But the other pretends the play area is not reduced, since the building additions are not shown. Does this give you confidence in the quality of planning?

Vote accordingly.
