Six years, millions of dollars later, still no school

Six years, millions of dollars later, still no school

EXCERPT:

But Margot Barton of the district parent advisory council (DPAC) is not optimistic.

She said parents have been frustrated over the years by the district's unwillingness to share information about the project, and she's not convinced that's about to change, even though a meeting might help move things along.

"Inevitably, there will have to be compromises, but people will not buy into compromises unless they know the reasons for the compromises," she said. "That information has not been forthcoming."

The parent council recently joined with other community organizations in a determined effort to get answers. "We're saying, 'Look, involve us in the process.' We want to be at the table with the city and the school board. We want all the information to make a meaningful contribution."
