How about views on the library situation?
In May, all the candidates publicly stated their opposition to the library expansion except for Josh Gould.
For School Board Candidates -
1. Your opinion on the taking of the Meadowbrook Golf Course for additional school property?
2. Your opinion on the saving of the old Schuylkill School?
Received via email from Dan Cushing.
Hi Karen,
With regard to the district potentially purchasing the golf course property, it would be fine provided that the price is fair market value and the current owners want to sell it. It would also be important to understand the perspective of the homeowners of property adjacent to the golf course. With regard to the Schuylkiill school building, there have been several ideas presented to the township but nothing seems to be moving forward. It would be nice to use that building for something positive but the longer that it sits unused the more difficult it will be to develop. It is in very poor condition so a decision on its disposition is required soon.
Thank you.
Dan
