Title: Re: [Winona] High School
I believe that one way to bring some light to unsubstantiated concerns is to go to the source.
For example, if Ruth heard that Mr. Jones stated that an interior designer is to be hired – I’d then ask Mr. Jones where he got his information and trace it back to its genesis. The board doesn’t and shouldn’t have the responsibility of micromanaging – but when egregious errors are made I believe it is our job to prevent or help solve them.
Ms. Marg’s statement begins with an implicit pessimistic assertion. Her second sentence seems to be a reasonable suggestion and will be considered. Her third sentence is – either fact or rumor. But by tracing back, and with Ruth’s help – perhaps I can clarify the board position on cherry wood and other details entrusted to those in charge of the building construction. Re: Ruth’s fourth sentence I believe we are addressing these issues carefully as the class schedule becomes complete and a more accurate accounting of referendum revenues are determined.
I too sit on the long term planning committee and as my colleague – Ruth points out - our district, and especially the high school is in need of some very dramatic capital improvements. Some of the reports shared by our high school faculty have been nothing short of stunning – in terms of space and maintenance needs.
Mr. Kaldunski comments are his contribution to this opinion site.

Rather than seek to find out who started or repeated a rumor, why not just make a statement on behalf of the School Board on whether or not it is true?

The big project at high school has started, wonder how much the cost overrun will be. The same furniture that is in the district and high school offices should be reused. I have heard from someone that someone wants cherry wood floors in office and an interior designer to decorate. Let's us spend the money on basics and put anything extra in the classrooms. Sitting on the high school committee I know there is a need for millions of dollars worth of work that needs to be done, just to bring the high school back to, in some cases, a safe place. I hope the board keeps the community up to date on the building and what money is going to be spent before it is spent. Ruth
