I am extremely disappointed in both the (Tahoma School) district and the board. They asked us for a levy to build a new high school and remodel some others. It was passed although those of us on fixed incomes can’t afford it.

All of a sudden the district finds out their estimates were high so they decided to build a replacement school for Lake Wilderness – which they stated they were hoping they could do when the bond issue was submitted. Makes one wonder if this wasn’t done on purpose.

Now they are talking about too many students in the south end of the district and the need to adjust boundaries and transfer elementary students to the north end of the district where there are an abundance of schools.

Why rebuild a school in the north part of the district when the need is in the south end? Use the “extra money” from the levy and build it in the south end where it is needed.

I suppose they are planning to submit another levy to build another school in the south end of the district.

If this is the kind of decisions our board is making you can bet I’ll be voting for new members during the next election.
