Shortcuts: School board approves bonds for FHS overhaul
The Morning News reports that the Fayetteville School Board voted yesterday to accept the $52.3 million in Qualified School Construction Bonds allocated to Fayetteville by the State, most of which would go towards improvements to the Fayetteville High School campus.
Citizens voted against a 4.9-mill property tax increase to build a brand new high school last month.
News that the resolution passed at yesterday’s school board meeting first broke when FPS Public Information Officer Alan Wilbourn tweeted the following:
Fayetteville School Board approves resolution to authorize FPS to take advantage of $52.3M in stimulus credits.
Acceptance of the stimulus credits was recommended by FPS administrators last week during a special workshop meeting held in the Adams Leadership Center across from Fayetteville High School.
The approval only signifies a plan to use the money and is not a guarantee that the funds won’t be sent back.

Is this what we really want? How about the results of the recent voter poll? This school board appears to have it’s own mind and to care little about the wishes of the general public.
