The way this plan was rushed together, I kind of already know the answer to this question but I'll ask anyway. Has a traffic study been done? Has their been any consideration been given to the sudden implication of all those additional vehicles to the area.
One of the princiPALS that spoke in favor of the plan was heard to say she;s not worried about the lunacy or logistics of busing because most of her parents will drive their kids, Sweet, but that will only make matters worse. Have you seen the small circular driveway in front of COMMERCIAL STREET? Imagine 7 to 9 buses lined up there twice a day with 5 year old children scrambling to find the right bus to return home all the while dodging texting parents who can't have their kid riding no bus.
Compounding this disaster is the addition of the success of LVTI and Principal PARADIS. According to her, TECH is doing so GROWING and EVOLVING into a top notch high school. So that kind of begs the question - come next year when we approach capacity there, then what. Will the BIG kids crowd out the recently displaced little tykes?
See there are too many questions to ram this plan through like a BULL in a china shop. I offer my warnings most sheepishly because well it's to my advantage if the supporters of this plan look like HORSE'S ....../
Well they will be my opponents come election day.
SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER!
Tech has a pre school early education shop...what a great fit! The annex is pretty quiet because all the parking for students and most teachers is at the main site. The doors are well staffed now . The teachers and aides and guide children to their buses like the do now at 100 s of schools across the country . Why make a big deal ???
ReplyDeleteBut have you answered ANY of my questions?
ReplyDeleteThe big kids at Tech do not go anywhere near that part of the building now...strictly off limits to them. I imagine it will remain that way. Was a traffic study done at ford for bus traffic, that's a mess at dismissal time...where's your gripe there ?
ReplyDeleteDid you hear at the LSC meeting Principal Paradis talk about being a year away from capacity? As for the traffic study for Ford, usually you do a study BEFORE you move into a NEW place. Also there is a mix of older kids with new kids. I'll agree the traggic there is terrible and let;s throw in Dreicz while we are at it (Didn't a crossing guard get hit there last year?. The BIGGER question is what do you have against FORD?
