I think we'll be a long time before we get the schools built with the rejection of our recent referendum.

Placing my head on my knees, I let the irrational tears fall unrestrained. I am crying over the loss of something I never had. How ridiculous. Mourning something that never was - my dashed hopes, my dashed dreams, and my soured expectations.

There's nothing like rejection to make you do an inventory of yourself.

This was approved initially by the board back in November, and the district felt like this was our No. 1 priority, and I think we need to move forward with it.

I don't know what we'll build there. We might build a new Liberty High School there and a second elementary school.
