     Have you gotten all of the facts for the school district capital bond issue proposal?  Have you heard $41 million?  $43 million?  $47 million?  Do the figures you have heard for individual items add up to the totals of the Capital budget? Do you understand the proposal?  Do you know that sports facilities (some of which have been in place since the 60"s) comprise only 1.5% of the overall proposal? Have you seen any drawings of any of these proposals? Were you at the Board meeting on November 2nd when it was stated that it is too expensive to draw up proposals now, but when the capital budget is passed we will draw up the proposals and show them to the taxpayers.  Have you heard about the proposed corridor from the Middle School, through the current District Offices, to the Music Wing? Have you heard that the School District offices might move to Sidway?  Have you seen it in the budget?  No? The proposed sports project on these pages is our design.  The school district did not adopt any part of it and is, in fact, giving our athletes less than they already had in terms of the stadium and the track.  We believe the School Board can and should do better.  HOW WILL YOU VOTE ON NOVEMBER 17th?
