Can Norwood live with itself if its voters turn away this “stimulus package” being offered by the state to help fund a new high school?
We are in jeopardy of losing accreditation. This is defined as “credibility” in my dictionary. Webster’s defines “accredit” to mean, to authorize; certify, to believe in; an attribute. As voters, it is our responsibility to authorize a new high school. This is an opportunity to take money, that is a gift, and build a new school that will meet the requirements of education for our children so they can meet the challenges of their futures.
Our children travel to schools where they see what could be possible in Norwood. It would be embarrassing to read the papers after April 6 to find that we didn’t meet our children’s dreams. The cost of that would stay with Norwood longer than it will take to pay off the debt exclusion.
Our teachers are creative and brilliant but; the best will leave our system for better.
We have a brand new fire and police department. Let’s complete the trilogy by building a new high school that can stand for another 50-plus years. It’s also environmentally savvy, a “green school”; a renovation would never be able to accomplish that.
We must retain our real estate values. A new school will ensure that people will buy in Norwood, not be deterred. The economy is struggling but it will turn around. Let’s put Norwood High School on the map as the polished diamond, no longer in the “rough.”
