Thursday Oct. 6th Support our youth!
WARSAW - River View has scheduled town hall community meetings to discuss the district’s building needs. Meetings will be from 6 to 8 p.m. on the following days: Thursday, Oct. 13 Conesville Elementary; Tuesday, Oct. 18 - River View High School; Monday, Oct. 24 - Union Elementary; and Thursday, Oct. 27 - Keene Elementary. “What we learned from our failed bond attempt in August was that our community in no way could support the particular issue we put in front of them,” said Superintendent Dalton Summers. “Since that time many, many more people have contacted us with their concerns and about why they couldn’t support the issue. We’ve found that a large number of voters and community members weren’t completely aware of the conditions of our buildings and had ideas they wanted to give in lieu of building buildings. Whether those ideas are possible or not isn’t the point. The point is that people came out after our first attempt and we decided instead of trying to run another issue the same way we’d attempt these community meetings.”
