What young Popoff says is probably true. Lely is a very good school and the people that run it only want the best for the students that attend it. That said, his testimony has little relevance to this story. As for MarcoFacts claim that Marco Island parents and supporters of this inititive, have no vested interest in it, that is false. Comments like that are written only to distract the reader and show a lock of understanding. Marco Island parents believe our community needs a high school so that our children can acquire a good education in OUR community, without traveling 20 miles a day to do so. They also agree with the ROTC instructer that Lely and it's programs teaches and promotes good civic participation in their community. They simply want our children to experience that within the enviornment of their OWN community, Marco Island. Our community is NOT Lely or Naples. Our community is the City of Marco Island. Our City is big enough to give an excellent education to it's students and should do so. Our children should not have to travel 20 miles a day to get an education. Our City Council should be responsive to it's community and give our own children an education in the City WE established.
