The schools need to be kept in tip top shape and I think I will support this, it will not cost us in taxes.

I would think the academics need WAAAAAAYYYYYY more help than getting a new auditorium.

Call me crazy, but why aren't the people in Admin taking more time trying to get these kids graduating instead of concentrating on pool upkeep.

Sad...very, very sad!

What makes you think that this will make the schools in tip top shape? They changed the structure of the schools two years ago to make them in tip top shape. Now they are saying it has to be all changed again? Just the needed repairs for Oneida would blow through this amount of money. I think all this moving around is lining someone's pockets. There is no evidence they are doing anything to really improve the schools.

oh,,,they graduate kids all the time....it's usually the ones who decide to stay because they get 'passed along' ...
the others quit because they don't like being cattle prodded....some quit because they really can't do what society tells
them to do and refused to be made into square human pegs and are frustrated.....

long dead are the foundations of public schools power and if they aren't dead they are waning.....
1. fear
2. religion
3. nationalism

THIS is evolution....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

More BS from the worst schhol district in Upstate NY. It's a no brainer- Vote No. They refuse to listen to the K-8 Central and Zoller parents.
     Anyone who says it will not raise taxes is lying.

Isn't that what the Superintendent Sprauge said... this won't cost the taxpayers anything??

Can see why our kids our failing in the Schenectady district, the leader is living in a fantasy world.

That's $70 million of our taxpayer money going into a district with a $159 million budget.

Please... someone... where is ALL THIS MONEY GOING?!?!?!?!

Well, let's see... 6k per month is going to an insane terrorist janitor sitting in a cell. It costs money for these various 'reorganization' plans to be developed and implemented. A lot of money. These are all non-teaching positions involved, and they take time away from the focus of schools, teaching.
I'd like to take another moment to say, I told  you so, to all the geniuses involved with that big 'reorganization' we had due to 'declining enrollment'. I was against it, "they" were telling lots of lies, I was right, they were wrong. Now look what we have. A school system that drives people away. My advice to the superintendent. Cut it out. Use the buildings we already have, no, they aren't in dire condition, learn from other people's stupid mistakes, just get back to what a superintendent's real job is. It isn't social engineering, and it isn't building maintenance/construction supervision. All that worked so well, the last time around.
