$110 MILLION DOLLAR BOND ISSUE

 

Minot really does need a new middle school in SOUTH Minot. That is where the students live. In a perfect world, we could use several new middle schools in south Minot. It would make good sense to build one near Our Redeemers/ Washington Elementary School; it would make sense to build one near the new John Hoeven Elementary School, or Edison, or Perkett; it would make sense to build one near the mall or near the new YMCA.

It would NOT make sense to build a new middle school in downtown Minot. Central Campus High School is in walking distance from Jim Hill Middle School. Converting the old Central Campus building to a new middle school is a foolish idea and a WASTE of my tax dollars. It was not that long ago that they spent millions of dollars to “fix” that old building. Instead of pouring money into that old building, it should have been replaced then!

If the school district wants to keep it, they can use it for the administration building, they could use it for the alternative school, they could use it for a large storage shed.  They cannot logically use it to serve the exact same population of middle school students that are already being served by Jim Hill.
