ISD 2142 school plans

Posted

Has anyone else found alot of information just isnt adding up lately? I watch as those in power at ISD 2142 are attacking whole towns based on their hate of a few people. The 2142 plan supporters have decided to blame those who are against the school changes for the mistakes of JCI and the ISD 2142 school board. JCI FAILED TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK. The people who voted no had no part in JCI failing to do their job. If you want to be mad at someone then JCI is your man!

We are being called names and being attacked. In their eyes we voted due to taxes, I can honestly say thats BS! The fact is we were never given anything to vote YES for. ISD 2142 threw the Tower-Soudan area under the bus and when we had the audacity to say NO they started the smear campaign and the gloves were off.

I hope that the Tower-Soudan area is paying close attention to the future of ISD 2142. The new State Park going into Breitung comes with close to $200,000 per year in tax money for our local school and those who's children will be going to the Tower-Soudan Elementary should make sure that this money is USED to better the elementary school in OUR area because we all know if ISD 2142 can get away with it the Tower-Soudan area will never see a dime of this money.

Its time to find a middle ground. Face it no one won, we all lost and the only people who have been hurt in this are our kids. Its time to put away the smear tactics and look at the reality. JCI failed to follow through. They sold a bad plan and we are all going to pay for it.

Its time the school board and JCI dealt with THEIR mess.

Thank you,
