OUR VIEWS SORRt P N u ! Voters should COULDN'T WAIT I

Plymouth-Canton school officials are asking for some $120 million in a pair of bond questions set to be on the ballot when voters go to the polls May 2 Voters should give it to them When you’ve got teachers teaching off of carts (as is the case with the art program) and more kids in the schools than the buildings were meant to hold, there’s a definite problem The primary proposal, for $95 4 million, is designed to ease those conditions But it will do much more than that It will allow the distnct to build a second middle school in Canton, which produces the majority of middle schoolers It will allow for the renovation and repurposing of Central Middle School, which most observers agree is past its pnm e as a primary education center That, in turn, would allow the alternative education students, who currently use the dilapidated Starkweather facility, to move to Central If the first question passes, the money raised would improve and add classrooms at the elementary levels, leave the elementanes with their ovra art and music class­ rooms, remodel the 'ganger Center, and give the district 10 new buses It will only raise taxes 0 6 mills Perhaps the best part of the plan is the new Career and Technical Education Center, which would house existing career curnculums such as electromcs/robotics, health occupations, culinary arts, engineering, graphics and informational technology plus new courses m construc­ tion technology and public safety LETTERS The second part of the bond, for $24 8 million (0 22 Surprised at pick Commumty Schools are among the best m tions about how contracts are awarded at mills), will provide for a theater and a pool at Plymouth Michigan the department are more abundant than High School, an auxiliary gym at Salem and upgrades at I was surpnsed to read Diane Gonzalez I’ve lived in this commumty for more answers My legislation was hot conceived vanous baseball, softball and soccer fields IS one of the paper s “picl« ’ for the than 25 years and I have seen many as some election-year stunt I have been Many observers have described these as “wants” rather Plymouth-Canton school board election I changes The one constant over that time working on fins issue since the d ^ I than needs, but consider this There are senous demands was surpnsed because of her lack of sup­ penod has been the outstanding education entered office back m 2003 made on the district’s two pools and two theaters (DuBois port for the two school bonds I would like provided by our Plymouth-Canton The biUjust vetoed by the governor cor- ' at Canton and Logan at Salem) more information concerning her alternate Commumty Schools Voting yes on both rected the concerns she raised m vetomg District officials were able to put the entire proposal ideas issues May 2 is the best thing we can do for similar legislation three years ago Her together for less than 1 mill W ith median home values in I believe there is a group of Plymouth our kids, our community and our home veto now is not an attempt to help foster the district at $275,000, passing both questions would parents who support building a new grade values regional cooperation, but one to protect a cost the average homeowner some $117 a year school in northwest Plymoufii Ibwnship Nancy Baldwin political ally with questionable business The distnct was wise in saying the second ballot pro­ and feel if the current bonds do not pass, Plymouth practices from any type of accountability posal couldn’t pass without the first one It’s like the first the next proposed bond could contain this whatsoever The governor didn’t make a question is dinner, the second is dessert, and district offi­ gpade school construction Fund-raiser thanks nslq^ deasion, she took the easy way out cials don’t want voters to spoil their dinner It is my understandmg the state, based Laura M.
