Your information and comments on the school board's rush to gentrify the FHS campus coincides with the opinion of thousands of Fayetteville residents. Hope they get out and vote. See http://aubreyshepherd.blogspot.com I have more than 40 google blogspots and some web sites and photos on Flickr. If you keep up the good work, I'll get around to adding your link to all of them, I expect. Takes time, and time is getting short for us old folk.

Why? Because I went to school in buildings that were MUCH worse than the current Fayetteville facilities and still received a top notch education because the teachers were top notch. The line that says "Buildings don’t teach kids, people do" is right on the money. I am taxed to death already in this city, and had the school board brought forth a plan that called for a smaller millage and building the new campus in phases over a few years I might have been for it. This is politics and pork at work. I have two kids in the Fayetteville School System right now and I plan to vote NO on this issue. Why?
