Shepherd parent tells why she is voting YES tomorrow Yes, Shepherd school had a wonderful staff and administration, but the building had health problems from the septic tanks and from the leaks in the main building and mobile classrooms; she's much happier having her child in ACES, which still has a 'small school feel.' By Jackie Montgomery During the debate about replacing the three county schools, emotions ran high. Shepherd was, in some ways, an ideal environment for my own two children: the smaller feel seemed to fit their shy natures well; I appreciated that the administrators and teachers all knew me by first name; and my children and I all felt we were part of a caring community dedicated to providing an excellent educational experience. Many CWC parents have shared in this forum that they feel the same way about CWC.

CWC: Vote tomorrow will decide if we go back or go forward 'This is for the kids, the young people and the future of Columbia and Adair County' By Darrell Overstreet Tomorrow's school tax vote, in my opinion, is one of the most important decisions we in Adair County will have made in many, many years. It is not whether we agree with everything in the past, present or will agree in the future or if the tax is fair or not, but the point is our kids. Tomorrow's vote will decide if we go back or go forward. This is for the kids, young people and future of Columbia and Adair County. I plead with parents and especially grandparents to vote YES tomorrow. Please do not let our kids down. -Darrell Overstreet 2009-12-14 04:48:09 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education

CWC: Is there any alternative? To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I believe the momentum is building and I feel better about it now than ever about the school tax. I know some very fine folks who signed the recall petition and I believe we will get a lot of those to vote for the schools.

Just thinking out loud. s/Billy Joe Fudge 2009-12-14 03:45:13 | Comments | Printable version
