Borows has left a new comment on your post "Why Are We Here?
":Seems to me there are two camps in Morrisville.
There are the "FIXERS" who say 'We see there is a problem with the facilities and with the educational programs, so let us expend energy and money to fix them because we know that whatever we do will benefit the community as a whole'
Then there are the "DISPOSERS" who say 'We see there is a problem with the facilities and with the educational programs, but it is better to be rid of the problem all together because if we expend energy and money trying to make it better, it will not benefit the community more than it will cost the community'.
The common ground is the problems with the district. Maybe the dialogue should have started there.
The differences are in how to solve the problems. Fix or Dispose.
A question should be asked of each school of thought.
For the Fixers: Is there any amount of energy and money that can solve the problems? The next question would be: Is it practical to assume that this amount of energy and money can be generated in Morrisville?
For the Disposers: Given the social and legal constraints and responsibilities to educate our children, will the problems be solved by disposing of them from Morrisville all together? The next question would be: What is the cost to the community to dispose of the problem, and what would the cost to the community be if disposal fails to solve the problems?
So I leave the floor open for public comment sans the 45 minute limit. Which are you, why, and what do you propose?
I'm definitely a fixer. A whole Morrisville is much better than a partitioned one. The money and energy can certainly be generated right here, right now. I do question if the collective willpower is available to be generated to back up the "we can do it."
