If any of the school properites are to be sold, Cooper should be the first to go. |

We need to keep the fight to close Cooper in the forefront. Please continue to post on this topic. |

I am very scared to send my daughter to Cooper after reading all the valuable information that has been posted. THANK YOU!!! All I can say is SHAME on the BOE!! How can they say they have the best interest of our children, when it is clear they DO NOT. If the site is fine, then why don't they have an independent company evaluate the property and publicaly announce their findings? There has to be other options. Why isn't the BOA willing to look into any? My concern is not only for the children that will be going there next year, but also the children that go there now. Something needs to be done NOW! |

The BOE is not willing to look into testing because they are afraid of what they may find and any past/future legalities that may come along with sending children to school in a contaminated area. |

I have to say I am completely dismayed by the Cooper teacher who spoke tonight at the BOE meeting. Does she honestly think this is a Westland issue? What about the comments made about pregnant teachers having healthy babies? Does she not understand that health problems sometimes do not arise for years down the road and not all will be affected. I understand ones need to be protective of their school, but what about the protection of our children. |

Hey Ya'll, I'm in Alabama on business right now. One thing to consider in all of this is, the BOE is proposing to dump 600,000 into Cooper, to get it up to snuff. When the BOE is questioned about opening up Dickenson for those in the west/ northwest, they shoot it down saying it'll be to costly @ $800,000. What is the better investment? Cooper needs to go bye bye & Dickenson needs to open. Laurel Park Place is only hazardous to your wallet. |

I feel the same way. She was so "out there" is was almost sad! I have read just about every post on this website and I have NEVER heard one mention about the Cooper teachers being less qualified than any other in LPS. I have no idea where she got here thoughts from, definitely not from here! |

Sometimes it takes time for genes to mutate and disabilities do not show up until children (our children) have children. It's really scary! Do you think any teachers will oppose to being transferred to Cooper? |

What I dont seem to understand with this whole situation is this, why not take all the risk and controversy out of it and just close the D*** school! Is it worth risking childrens health over this thing? The answer is simple NO! I just dont understand. Its a money issue like it always boils down to. I mean the powers that be are worried over $200,000? Im sorry but $200,000 is nothing when it comes to running a City im sure. Actually for that matter neither is $2million dollars, the money they hope to save next year. I say...they need to close Cooper and open Dickenson and they can all find the frickin $200,000 from somewhere else. If they are so interested in doing what is right for the children...then they will. I vote they take it our of their own pockets! I for one am so sick and tired of the mentality of....this is what your going to do..now go be happy and make it successful. I want to see more involvement from the BOE. I want them on the transistion teams and directing traffic in the morning in the over crowded parking lots, have them ride a LPS bus 45 min to and from work everyday with our children. I want them to work in an office that was built on a Toxic Waste dump for awhile and then they change offices and procedures every two years...would they like to go thru that? Nobody would. Oh but wait...our children do! What does anyone think of a fundraising event to raise the $200,000? Its an idea anyway. |

I would sell or buy for this cause for sure!!! You know, if every student paid $100.00 we wouldn't be having to go thru all this. 18,000 x $100=1.8 mill. I for one would be willing to pay $100 to not go thru the K-4 plan. I'm sure some would not agree. A really simple solution that the brilliant Demo Comm and the BOE did not come up with. |

Good ideas folks. But as far as people donating $100 the BOE would shoot that down right away. Unfortunately, there are parents that would not give money. But the $100 from everyone would sure give us a year to figure this thing out. The fundraiser also sounds like a good idea. I am not very creative, does anyone have any suggestions? But then again, if we raised the money the BOE would shoot us down again. I am very angry right now. I cannot even express myself in a way that would be suitable for this forum. OK, their "legacy" has been voted on and approved. But what the heck are they thinking sending our children to Cooper? Do they not have a brain in their heads? Your right fyi, they are afraid of lawsuits if they test the ground. There has got to be a way to get this ground tested to know what the dangers may be. Anyone have any ideas? |
