TPS Bond ..Send Prop.1 back to the drawing board

[sgrizzle]

I'm kinda surprised that my daughter's school, where she attends class in an unsecured prefab building without even a locked door or gate for security, is scheduled for renovation money in the 2030 bond cycle. I expected $350M to go a bit further than it does.

Since my kids' school is in excellent condition and staffed very well, I will be voting "no" as well. There is just no benefit to me and my family by passing this bond issue.

Hateful, just hateful.  You probably were stepping over wounded people having chicken at 3am yesterday morning too, weren't you?

What was the last Tulsa Public School you have physically been inside? In the past 6 months I have been inside Memorial, East Central, and Will Rogers; the neglect is far from "willful or intentional". How you can sit back and deride the effort to improve the environment in which people try to educate the youth of our city is the part that is willful and intentional neglect.

WOW!!  Get a grip OSU.  I was simply relaying my opinions about the media advertisements for this issue, and my opinion remains the same.

My kids attended Eugene Feild before and after the new school was built ( In fact, one of the facutly decided to have fun with my son's noteriety and wrote "Houston was here" real big on the principles wall of the old building before they tore it down), and now have their names imprinted on the sidewalk in front of the main entrance. The changes that occured there because of this rebuild was chalked all full of good.   Little things like a decent library and a gym can help out.  Now they are in middle school, and living in EC's area.  This is the high school I attented, and even 15 years ago it needed to be revamped, so I can imagine what it needs now.  While I'm not on the whole "we need the sports" bandwagon, I won't say no to improving the school because that is on the bill.  I, for one, have a serious stake in this, my childrens future, and it bothers me that others will say no to that because of a couple of things they don't like.

That was me!!! Seriously though, I think everyone knows I cannot vote on anything TPS due to my numerous felony convictions (either that or the fact that I do not live in the district).

Then why did East Central get a new stadium/field before renovating the school?
Why did Will Rogers get a field house built before the school was put in better shape?
Why does the current Prop1 have 3 field houses in it at a higher cost than renovating East Central?

Those improvements have and will change the schools. What do you think happens in a field house? It becomes much more than just a place to have basketball games.

I think you are just trying to find any argument possible. This is not needed (in your opinion), this was done in the wrong order (in your opinion), we should just use the internet to teach the youngins (in shadows opinion).

I went to Memorial 15 years ago, I couldn't take a poop during school hours for 3 years of highschool because they willfully didn't have doors on the stalls. To hell with them and their bond issue. I vote no. TPS brings their low ratings on themselves.

Strangely enough I remember BA doing that in some cases to fight our imaginary rampant cocaine use.

We practically all looked like Tony Montana by third hour.

BTW, how's the turnout supposed to be for this thing?  I was 2nd at my station and I didn't get there until 7:15.  There's normally many more votes cast by then.

Reminds me of Boot Camp.

About 56 at 11:30 in my neighborhood.

Hopefully this passes.  I can't imagine it NOT passing but still worried there are a lot of misinformed people who are voting.

I ended up voting yes for 2,3,and 4, but no on 1.
