Schools are ‘key foundations in communities’

BY MICHAEL E. SCHMIDT

I’ve attended many school board and town council meetings to hear all opinions and to better understand what is involved in the new middle school project. I’m not a fan of speaking in public settings, but that in no way means lack of opinion or interest. I completely support this project.

Some say we can save money on the project by not spending on the groundwork. This speaks to me as I am just about the last person in the car line for picking up my granddaughters. The staff are doing an incredible job to manage this process with the current configuration. Part of the proposal is to improve safety for parent pickup, bus lanes, parking lot locations, walking paths, and pedestrian traffic. ALL needed.

I have great respect for Dr. Record. I find negative comments about his handling of the enrollment numbers to be disappointing. I believe he has great integrity and is working faithfully to guide the best educational opportunities for all of Cape’s children.

Line in the sand, neighbor against neighbor, and for what? — SCHOOLS! — One of the key foundations of communities.

Thank you for considering voting YES on the school board approved referendum.
