The Cooper School is listed on the agenda for tomorrow's committee meeting. Which one??? The landfill/soccer dome or the present school. Either way, it's all very secretive as usual. ;)

Randy lived up to my expectations. His presentation was about the former Cooper School site and the soccer dome deal. The deal would now cost the tax payers 1.5 to 1.9 million dollars from the Sinking Fund to support this deal. But it gets better, Randy wants to hire "Tony" the dome owner as a LPS employee to run the program. What does this mean for us? Our district would be in the Soccer business, I thought we were in the business of educating our children. :X

I have one other question for the Board and Randy. What happened to the original contract? I do believe that if "Tony" didn't live up to his side of the deal, we would own the soccer dome. Now Randy wants to buy the used dome and astro turf from "Tony". Yeah...... :blink: Something stinks more than the landfill that they need to clean up.

The schools exist to educate, not employ.
Maybe Randy should have listened to Eileen.

Thank you for the video.

I don't know what to say except that the super seems very excited about these plans.

Some questions are:
Will LPS now own the soccer field and is the plan to make a profit from it?
How much will it cost to get it up to MDEQ standards?
