Nearly thirty years ago the deed for Ronald School was transferred to the fledgling historic museum The elected school board and the superintendent authorized that transfer. The museum is owner of of the building. There have been in excess of 1.5 million dollars in improvements and thousands of man hours to build the archives to preserve the history. Thirty years has been dedicated to educating the children and the community. The current legal counsel has declared that the deed is void. He is trained in adversary law which is the foundation of American jurisprudence. Some members of the school board are also trained in adversary law.
What is happening in the Shoreline District is a breech of trust. We are are not the adversaries. We cannot have schools for the 21st Century without a solid foundation built on the strength of history of nearly hundred years of students and teachers. No curriculum can teach technology without respecting our ancestors who brought us to the brink of discovery and sent us into the new century with knowledge. I feel the agony of the electorate. The ballots will arrive and the leaders of this community have not assuaged the fears.
