On Walker opponents to submit recall petitions

For those of you complaining about the cost of the recall to taxpayers - you can thank Walker for it.
We wouldn't be in this situation if Walker had been open/honest about his budget plan during his campaign. Either he never would have been elected to office or the recall wouldn't be happening because the people voted him in already knowing the plan.
The whole root of this recall push is the shady way he went about it.
Thanks for forcing us to use more taxpayer money Walker! Recall!!!!!!

gallon76: I don't believe they are adding a gym just for the heck of it.
I've heard they need the extra gym space to accomodate the increase in # of Phy Ed classes in that building once the students from Newark/Footville move over.
Because gym space has been such an issue in the district, if you are already adding one, to me it makes sense to make it something that can be used for more than just Elementary Phy Ed classes and address other issues/concerns at the same time.

Wow hayburnr. Too many people forget that school cultures are largely effected by how the parents/community portray and support them. If kids are hearing a parent constantly complaining about how things are so bad, they will buy into that sentiment...
AND, maybe you should get your facts straight before chiming in and giving the other readers incorrect info: There are 11 boys on their freshmen basketball team, not sure what is going on with this team you claim doesn't exist...
Also, I think a number of their coaches are great! As with any school, some coaches are able to garner the student's interest better than others, but they are all good people and work hard in their respective sports.

99% for the gym? The other article stated the estimated cost of portable classrooms would be almost $1 million. The $3.9m referendum would be for 14 classrooms AND a gym (and I'm sure the 14 brick/mortar classrooms are not a cheaper alternative to portable buildings).
Another gym would be needed for the additional Phy Ed classes that will now need space at OES - otherwise, I don't know where they would hold all of the Phy Ed classes. I would guess the gym portion would be less than 35% of the total referendum. And, if you've ever been in the Parkview facilities, you'd know extra gym space is badly needed for all the after-school activities going on there (JH/HS sports, youth sports, musical, show choir, etc...)!

garyprimer - Close Newark after this year and keep Footville open for another year or two vs closing both?

Sigma: the Parkview teachers extended their contract by 1 year (for the 11-12 school year), which included % pay cut as well as contributions towards insurance/retirement.
