Several. To large amount at once and not clearly defined. To much going
south of the broad. Bluffton has brought this on themselves, now their
asking the rest of the county to bail them out. |

Leadership.

educational purposes and not more facilities. |

03-10-2008 07:43:36 - planters cir ldis: lets take care of the schools we
now have and improve the education of the students. More schools and new
ones just so they can be destroyed by the students. I dont think so .
take care of what we have and add to them not build new |

deep recessioh. Equity values are declining, and debt is increasing.
Ways must be found immediately to cut taxes, not increase them. Get a
grip on reality and withdraw this bond referendum. |

During my years of association with the Beaufort County School
District, I have not seen a more thoroughly researched and planned
capital improvement plan. The new construction, renovations, and repairs
identified in the plan are real and immediate. The plan's schedule is
based on legitimate short and long-term needs and does not reflect the
typical "something for everyone" approach just to get the referendum
passed. Isn't this what the tax payers have said they have wanted? |

Building a high school for 450 students regardless of where it is
located is just plain WRONG. Who in the world will want to teach there?
Beaufort should withdraw from ACE and install extensive vocational
facillities in all high schools. Very few or our students go on to four
year colleges. As an old school board president I can not vote against
this referendum but that does not mean it is right. |

Considering the low cost for home owners, how can I not vote for the
referendum. These children are our future and deserve our support no
matter the cost. I may not agree with every thing the school district
does, but I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't vote for the referendum.
Think about the kids children and leave politics aside. Beaufort has
grown and our children deserve adequate facilities equipped for this
technological age. We can't let small issues let us forget the big
picture--children!!! |

think the money is better used on recruiting and retaining teachers. It
seems to me some of our local schools are not even operating close to
capacity! |

Which schools are the priorities in this plan?. |

Much better planned then in the past. Good job by staff. |

school board ever get it's act together? |

The only thing the School Board actually does for Beaufort County is
support Hilton Head and Bluffton. Every School has their own rules, and
calendar! When is the School district going to stand up and Synchronize
all their schools so that THEY ARE ALL EQUAL??????? Like the rest of the
world? |

I support this initiative, but I'm aware it will effect primarily the
situation in the Bluffton area. I only hope that same support will be
returned in kind if the need develops north of the Broad river. |

I would hope that a short term solution to the Lady's Island
overcrowding will be addressed in the VERY near future!. |
