The $3,780 is State Aid, the rest is local money (taxes) and some federal. The district website has a link to the "budget at a glance" that is informative.
The fact remains that this "safe room" is a public building. The District holds the reigns on it. Board members' quotes about "finding alternatives" or "making it unavailable" are frustrating to me.
The District unlocks buildings for community use all the time. Why should this be different - expecially when lives could be in danger. I sincerely hope a solution is found.
Regardless of Bloggerboo's true identity, the patronizing tone is rude and unnecessary. It is specifically on point that the federal government paid 4.5 million to make the PAC a "safe haven" for our community. It is wrong to designate who can or cannot use it in emergency situations.
Greyghost is correct. The fact that it is a publicly funded government building is all the more reason it should be available to our entire community. The City and School District need to work this out.
In reality, there are no background checks for people entering the concerts or ballgames. This must be about dog scat on the carpet or unwillingness to pay someone for a few hours of time.
We spend millions of dollars on constructing a safe shelter that will hold over a thousand people in a tornado and then the District says it's too much trouble to figure out the details???? While I understand it is not an easy proposition, I think that we should damn well figure it out. Let's work together.
