The results from the survey sent to voters shortly after the failed millage election were released over the weekend. The Fayetteville Flyer has a great graphic summarizing the results. As expected, the cost of the plan was named as the biggest reason for voting against the millage. However, viewing this as simply a cost issue would be mistake. The final price tag of the plan was the direct result of many smaller design decisions made along the way.

Superintendent Vicky Thomas has shown good leadership moving forward from the failed millage vote. I am encouraged to see the district  working on what seems to be both an ambitious and prudent “Plan B.” From what I’ve heard renovation may start as soon as the doors close for summer break.
