Letter to the
Editor
As an Alum of South Park High School, I?m
reading information that is deleterious as well as confusing. One day there?s an article about how the
Engineers have found a ?possibility of ?potential? problems??(Huh?) and the next
day there?s an article with different info. What am I to believe is the
truth?
We have an opportunity to be caretakers of
what has been left to us. There?s
information from the National Register that will give YOU the ability to join the
group of folks trying to help you and become a part of their quest. When SPHS is put into the National
Register, funds become available through Grants that will give you a chance to
breathe easy knowing that the taxpayers won?t need to bear the entire amount
needed to refurbish SPHS.
There?s really no quarrel left. You don?t want to spend the money on
what you think is an unusable building, which is obviously not true since it was
one of the few structures that survived hurricane Rita without terrible
destruction. That is certainly a
testament to it?s durability and safety.
The South Park Community is hungry for an
anchor on which to rebuild their neighborhoods and give their children the
education and support they need to become good and productive citizens. You hold their future in your
hands. Think long and hard before
you make a decision that will remand them to places they never want to
be.
