So you should quit posting- I accept your apology. </div></div>

When you can actually bring something to the table then you can sit at the table...and if you were paying attention I was the one that said about hitting a wrong key so get your point of reference correct before commenting which facts don't seem to get in the way for you thus far.

Oh I did look up the exact figures to where I am from of the town as am not from the higher income drawing of any of the cities and median income in my home area is $33,000 which on paper is what $4,000 more but factor in township taxes and more than 5 times greater property taxes that more than equals it out.

Yes, you should follow her example and quit posting if consolidation happens.

Why is this even a topic? Please...if it even happens it will take years. Plus you have these old home town folks not wanting to consolidate or parents of kids who think they are a football star in their tiny school who knows they won't have a chance to even get their cleats dirty if they combine to a large school, they would rather the schools fall to shambles. It's stupid.

We should form our own school district. We will not be told what to do, the elites of Wise and Big Stone can't hold us back! I hope the people of St. Paul and Pound will join with us and overcome these terrible tyrants called school board members! Kyle Fletcher and Mark Hutchinson will save us all! </div></div>

& it's this that makes me ashamed of Appy.
Please. I mean, we need to consolidate. Plain and simple, and some person gets on here with no real solution as to why cons. should NOT happen other than I GOT DAWG PRIDE BOOYYYZZ. *headdesk* Mark Hutchinson is not going to save you, sorry but he won't and can't. You never know what actually goes on behind closed doors. & just because his wife works at Appy does not mean a darn thing. People open your eyes. This consolidation will benefit every school board member, and they know it.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one.

I have a question for some of y'all...folks keep implying that the education one receives in an new building will be better than the one they receive now. Given there will be the same teachers and text books, explain how or give specific examples how consolidation will positively impact the education of our local kids.

May not need a band, but band sure got my son a college education, an education that I dare say sports won't get a lot of people's children around here.
