Has the good DOCTOR seen the light? After the miserably failed TIGER PAWS adult learning experiment. Out of 7 proposed programs, ran over I think 3 or 4 days, only 2 of them ran. A community of 6 were served, that's 6, count them S-I-X.
The cost for this poor excuse for a success story ran in the thousands. I mean there was the cost of advertising, cause you see, unlike me the ITEM expects to get PAID for letting you know what's going on. Then there was all the materials that needed to be purchased just in case somebody showed up for the classes.
WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR ALL THIS? You would think that sort of stuff would have been decided in advance. DIANE PARADIS, principal at LVTI, testified before the LSC Thursday night giving a report on the venture. She had assured everyone that the unused supplies could be used up by her students so IF it comes out of her budget it won't be a total waste.
IF, that's the key word here. Don't you think she should have known in advance? Then again WHY should it come out of her budget just because the good DOCTOR wanted to make what appears to be a thinly veiled attempt at trying to circumvent OCCUPY LVTI.
The low attendance at this HIGH-PRICED diversion could be parlayed as an excuse not to move forward due to lack of interest. PARADIS was optimistic about the future, taking the lessons learned from this failed venture and planning better in the future, perhaps this spring.
LSC member DONNA COPPOLA pointed out that there were other community groups interested in trying to use the facility. Hello, OCCUPY LVTI here! Anyway the good DOCTOR expressed her willingness to work with these groups. Come on now LYNN COALITION, here's your opening. The offensive line has made a whole, so run with the ball.
*Hole. But an interesting play on words if the faux pas went like this, "The offensive line has made us whole, so run with the ball."
ReplyDeleteMelissssa, I was using a football analogy. If you don't understand, go ask Chris.
