I'll stick with Webster instead of the queen-curtain dictionary.

"The vote was 13-12."

Hmmm...VOTE? = Election...

If curtain and queen are indicative of Eville intelligence...then perhaps the $120,370 should instead be spent on education and comprehension.

Oh yippee!!! We have a couple people on here who did not read the article before posting, and now being caught having not read before posting, want to change and add things to the article. Instead of bothering us John Doe with your foolishness , apply at the Gazette for job of reporter, lets see how far you get.

and how long did you have to search for that John doe, how stupid. once again as was pointed out to you, NO where did it say election. Stop adding things , that are not in the article you are as bad as Hannah.

For curtaincall;

Election: 3. The right, power or privilege of making a choice. Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

Seems to me if the board members and all involved are not 110% committed to keeping this school open for another 20+ years, it is wasting money that could be spent elsewhere. Just like my old school in a small town close to Evansville foolishy wasting big time money on concrete in a lower parking lot where the concrete is replacing a grassy hill just to add what, another 6-10 parking stalls for the teachers??? For the price they paid for the concrete/fencing work, they could have probably hired another teacher for the entire school year. The old lower parking lot with a grassy incline has been that way forever so why change it just to fill in with a huge load of concrete and an addtl. 10 parking stalls tops? The schools mowing crews must have complained enough so they would not have to mow the grass any longer???

for more information on stupid unnecessary spending see janesville school board.

Oh my gosh John Doe& Gilly, try reading the article. NO where did it say ELECTION. NO WHERE. People can vote on a idea with out there being a election.

**** If you had been at the meeting you would know several of the board members are against this, I believe it is the November meeting where a decision will be made.

Just another move by S.chools O.ur L.argest E.mployer in Evill. You HAVE to spend big $$$$ evey month to there to max out the tax bill for everyone.....Savings is not a word to be found in any book in their curriculum.

It's Lake Leota all over again, what did Prentice Eager want THIS too????

No election? But you got to vote?

Hmmmm....What's an election then?

They must use a different dictionary in Evansville.

No election , but anyone who was there got to vote.

Sooooooo, there WAS an election last night or????

The plan for this building, this school is short term. They hope to more than likely build a new school , the no. that was thrown around was 10 years. That is too much money if they are not committing to the school.

It is ultimately up to the board. However the arguments for were very weak. The main argument was safety, and yet the school has done very little to address the safety issues in other manners. In fact the crossing guard in that area was cut from the budget a couple years ago. Time to reinstate. The other issue is it 'narrowly' passing, the people who own the land, voted. Which they can, but it was in bad taste as they benefit from it. The other issue is this meeting was very well 'planted' with middle school staff. There are too many other options to address the safety issues that they have not tried yet.
