There is already a Charter High School on the Island: The Christian Academy. They have about 6 pupils per teacher, hardly crowded. Do we really need another High School for those kids that cannot wake up before 9:00 AM? Get them off the internet early at night.
How do you perform an open flame physics experiment in a FEMA trailer and call it world class education? We will have to beef up everything from Fire department to Police force. I can smell more fire hydrant studies by NBC and more reserves on your next tax bill.
Think also more of plush administrator jobs for our city council members and Jane Watt. Nonprofit status, hence tax free income and benefits from donations, a bit of occupational therapy in paradise and lots of political visibility, maybe even an appearance with Jacque Cousteau’s grandson on CNN. I am sure you remember the need for a water plant, electric plant and more city lights than Paris on Collier Boulevard.

How did this ballot get 300 or more votes cast in the first couple of hours and most for the same idea???

Because it is rigged from the get go! I did vote, but my wife's laptop was locked. So she went to the library and the results did not change since last night. Maybe there is another restraining order on what the rest of Island thinks!

If I am not mistaken wasn't the Acadamy already turned down at the Middle School? If so, why is it a possible choice? Could it be only to disguise the vote in such a way to "suggest" that more people want a high school here in the first place. The vote should have been, initially, 2 choices.
Want A High School
OR
Do Not Want A High School
After that is voted on, then and only then should the "where" be voted on.
Nice Try!!!

Whoops, Miacopa!.....
I was corrected and told that it was the Acadamy that turned down the Middle School site for the High School. Still, though, the Middle School site was supposed to be out of the picture. HMMMMMMM??????

Johnnymarco,
I pray that none of us are dead before this is settled.
It is very interesting though about the number of sex offenders there are in Naples.
I, as a parent, really understand your concern, especially in that area. This is something that should be addressed in the best possible way for all involved.....even us old folks.,
