Was there a lot of discussion? Did you know any of the speakers? Curious as to what they had to say.

Was there a lot of discussion? Did you know any of the speakers? Curious as to what they had to say. Speakers were - Jennifer Streder Sandra Conti Rachell Kitchen Dr. D Jeff Cox I didn't take notes on what they said, it was all good and supportive of the site and moving forward and refuting some of the negatives that have been put out recently. Good comments also from these people on the Council - Rick Lawrence Lynda Elmore Sheketa Hart-Burns Leroy Keith Whitey Peters Bob O'Connor Mayor Tom Weisner Presentations were made by Stuart Whitt and Michael Roth. Mr. Whitt mentioned we are the 3rd largest district in the state. The AME land is 84 acres, of which the school district is buying 49. The church land will be developed in three phases. The first is the worship center. Later will be a fitness & health center and community center. There was not much discussion and they first voted to deal with all five items at once, then voted yes on them all.

thanks mt4 for the word.
Sounds like solid civic support and cooperation from Aurora city govt for our third HS. I believe SD would have gotten the same at BB, as well.

So no report on nsfoc in the papers? Do you think they're waiting until tomorrow? Milk the issue a little longer, sell a few more papers or is it just yesterday's news?

Actually Aurora has been supportive of 204 all along. They even went out of their way to try and sweeten the pot when the SD was negotiating with BB, to help the SD.
