How Do You Solve A Problem Like M.R. Reiter?

It's not quite as catchy as the original, but you get the point.

Tonight. In the high school auditorium, 7:00 P.M. What do we do about Reiter?

Here's my Nostradamus impression: Reiter will never re-open. Grandview will become a K-3 or 4 building. The high school will be a grades 3-4 to 12 building. And once those high school students are farmed out, everyone will be in the K-8 former high school.

When the safety and stability of a school building has been ignored by your own orders, and you're the one who is holding onto the pieces of what's left, it's hard to quietly sweep the problem under the rug.

So tonight, the Emperor and his board of chosen accomplices will have to splutter and hem and haw and somehow explain why they did what they did and how they're going to mop up this monstrous lake of spilt milk.

Come on out and watch the performance. Comments from the public will likely be limited to about the first fifteen people, so first come, first served.

Some of the expected highlights:

* Watch the Emperor explain about not wanting to repair Reiter when he knew it was "a rat trap". The safety of our kids was never a concern. Only the money. That's all it was ever about. Show me the money!
* Listen as the "no K-12 school on my watch" stop the school board majority, who really did stop the new school, explains how a K-12 building in the old school is a good thing. Flip-flopping isn't a sport limited to Washington DC anymore.
* Watch the action as the board explains where all of the $7 million dollars earmarked for renovations has gone. And it ain't enough to do the job. That's OK...it was never enough in the first place. It was all about cutting taxes.
* Oh...while we're talking about those lower taxes, ask about the new budget and how big the increase is going to be this July.
