Another high school had to be built. Funds for the new school couldn't be used to upgrade Consol. The plan was to get the new school built in order to ease the massive overcrowding at Consol first. Then pass another bond for a bunch of upgrades at Consol. It had to be done in that order.
A bunch of people that didn't have kids in school defeated the proposition. And before you blame the "purple parents" for that proposition failing, there was a huge push by CSHS parents and the booster club to get people to vote "yes" on those upgrades.
Just like there is for this proposition.
It's people like that who are holding the school district back.
The only thing accurate about that statement is that Consol was hurt by the other proposition failing.TellMeMore said:
Remember Consol is WAY behind the curve because the Board was so excited about a new shiny high school they forgot to elevate Consol at least to some degree. Then the Prop failed. Do what you need to, but there is no reason the Consol folks should have to wait in hallways because a School Board wanted their name on the plaques of a New High School. WO HOW.....LOOK AT US!
