In Another 10 Years of CCSD Planning

Welcome to 2020.

As you can surmise, we have decided that each of our school buildings built prior to 2010 is now obsolete and subject to earthquakes. We all know that even those built between 2011 and 2019 do not meet the rigorous new earthquake standards proposed this year by Bill Lewis, so those schools will be retrofitted as soon as we have torn down and replaced the others.

As part of the justification for raising taxes once again, we must notify the taxpayers that any school not now having a technology center will receive one under the new building plan. Of course, we forgot to include those technology centers in the schools built during the last decade, so they will be retrofitted with technology centers as well.

In addition, those schools now equipped with technology centers are outdated; therefore, all technology centers built prior to 2010 will be supplemented with new ones, necessitating the purchase of another 50 acres contiguous to the property of each of these schools. [See District Readies Land for Building Project.]

Anticipating the ongoing complaints of Burke High School parents, the district plans continue to call for the development of more advanced placement classes at Burke. We all know that Burke must not be allowed to have career and technology courses. However, the district has petitioned the College Board that it develop special advanced placement courses in careers so that those might be added at Burke. The Board is well aware that the misguided parents desiring career education at Burke must be placated in some fashion.

Superintendent McGinley and the School Board, as well as eminence grise Bill Lewis, look forward to publicizing this exciting new building program to the entire community. We are confident that once the voters understand that very lives and safety of our children are at stake, they will gladly accept another tax increase.

Further, CCSD's 2020 plans will create more jobs in the community for its many building contractors, those who have been so faithful to it through the years.

And isn't that what it's all about?
