The board would be making an egregious mistake by forging ahead with this ill-advised proposal that does not have community support. Pushing forward a proposal that is destined to fail in the fall will damage the credibility the district has long held with the community and create economic hardship for Helena Schools for a long time to come. We urge you, in the strongest way, to revisit the planned bond proposal and work with the community to arrive at a solution that will preserve historic neighborhood schools and the quality of education that children in Helena have benefited from for generations.

The smaller schools elicit a sense of community and healthy competition.

I am concerned with how many of our grade school students will fall through the cracks by consolidating them all into one large school. The smaller schools allow students to be known as the individuals rather than by their student ID.

And, to be bussed to Rossiter. That wasn't going to happen, and it didn't. We were in the Four Georgians school district. If, the school district would adhere to stop letting parents use other addresses, or transporting their kids to a school that is not in within their home address for the closest school, that is huge. There are a lot of parents that want their kids to go to a different school because of status quo, or they think that one school is much better than the other. I get that part. However, it is the school districts responsibility to make sure that all the schools are in a healthy form. That includes, buildings, upkeep. I'm sure we have excellent teachers in our whole district, but take care if what we have, do some upgrades and keep to what the policy says for addresses of primary homes of the children that are attending.

I think good steps were taken when it was decided that the Anderson middle school children would be split and go to Helena middle school to address the immediate and pressing concern. I believe that it would be more in the interests of the people, to repair Central school transfer the Lincoln and Central school children back to Central school and open up Lincoln as a new elementary school for Rossiter children. This would solve transportation and financial problems. Also it would save us taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.

Why should the people of Helena pay $85 Million to displace hundreds of our students when just fixing the facilities would cost much less. The Superintendent keeps saying that there is not enough money in the budget to run all of the current buildings and expand where needed. Wouldn't it make more sense to ask for an increase of operational funding versus spending $85 million?
