So what were everyone's opinions about the school board's" public
hearing"tonight?
Frankly I am shocked at the total lack of community input and
appropriate studies for such major decisions as important as a high
school location by the Dekalb school board.I am ashamed to live in
this county because I pay my hard-earned tax $ to support these sneaks
with their hidden (mostly financial with a mix of social experiment
thrown in) agendas.And what good is voting when the ballot only lists
a bunch of school board incumbents that no one will run against?
And the claim that its a temporary location-who believes that hooey?
We don't want a marine run/financed military school for bussed-in
disadvantaged high school kids in our front yard period!!!

Agreed with what Pablo said!
 
Here I also would like to give a big thank to the 2 senior gentlemen who commented very convincible facts:
1.   "... according to the military school plan,  obviously that is definitely NOT a temporary site..."
        (quoted from the senior construction business runner / professional)
        (Pls correct me if I'm wrong)
 
2.    "... I have seen such kind of public project kicking off without public hearing at the beginning stage.. "
        (quoted from the Harvard graduate)
        (Pls correct me if I'm wrong)
 
        I'm not sure how many of you believed what Dr.Lewis said ".... the reason for us not put the information publically is because the plan is not officialy approved...". ???
 
My feeling is that:
       It sounds like: the the root cause to make such wrong decision was due to the financial perspective, accord to the "facts" they showed us tonight.
       That means it will cost less to build up the school at the Heritage Center than other locations as the existing facility is much better.
 
        They care about the finance. But who care about our safety???
        What we heard from them tonight is that they promise this and that.
 
        I agreed with one lady commented today:
        "....I'm afraid that none of these Dekalb school board members would like to have such kind of military school set up at their frontyard or backyard, even it's for temporary..."
        (Pls correct me if I'm wrong)
 
        Be honesty, no one can guarantee the 100% safety then, even they made the promise tonight.
        Once the horrible things happened to our neighbors, who'll be the victim then? Dr.Lewis, or Dekalb school board???
        Who will take the full responsibility and compensate you? Still Dr.Lewis, or Dekalb school board???
        What happens if they want to set that school permanently years later for some "justified" reasons???
        If we're lucky enough, hope we could still find those people who're sitting on the stage tonight then. And hope they still remember their promise tonight.
