This is what happens when the majority of your voters are snowbirds and senior citizens who couldn't give a crap about the families of your community. I feel really sorry for the schools of Lake Havasu, and for the rest of the country for that matter. Where are our priorities? Closing an entire middle school, in a town with 6 crowded elementary school, 2 overflowing junior highs, and 1 busting at the seams high school... ??? Does this seem wrong to anyone else? And for what? So Widow Gray Hair who drives down to Lake Havasu in November and leaves in March doesn't have to pay higher taxes? Perhaps Granny shouldn't own two homes! It's shameful that citizens don't want to help out their communities and for that kids have to crammed into classrooms like sardines. In addition to that, the poor teachers get overwhelmed by the increased number of kids, assignments to grade and parents to deal with... all for very meager pay. It's disgusting. We sit here and tell our kids to "stay in school" - "education is important" - but really, what's their incentive if the community is forcing them into overcrowded classrooms where their specific challenges and talents are ignored because teachers are spread too thin. Ridiculous.
