RDA vote may solidify Granite

Also, although the east side has only about one representative on the school board, my experience has been that the whole school board cares about the whole district. All of us are their constituents, not just the people in their local area.
This was manifest in this RDA vote, and it was manifest in the vote to rebuild Wasatch Junior High. That school is totally unneeded, but the area parents raised such a fuss that it's being rebuilt. The east side parents have absolutely no shortage of influence in the school district.
i agree we are all in the same boat the problem is the west side thinks they should have a total say on where the boat goes. local parents should always have a say.
the problem is parents on 4100 south and 5200 west think they have more of a say than the parents on 3900 south and 2700 east because thier "area" is expanding faster and is larger. all i am saying is fine think that way, split the district, handle your own affairs and leave me to mine. the west has always cried foul play even when there is nothing to cry about. let them run thier schools into success or failure on thier own and leave the east side to handle its own business.
this RDA vote should be the first step to district split and not the end. the west side wants thier own say and thier own dollars let them. let them be responsible. this money should go entirely to the east side. that is where the project is and that is where the dollars should stay. a benifit to those who live there. to those who will actually stay there.
The tide of migration changes every few decades if everyone was out for their own best interests where would any schools be buildt?
