This Is Gonna Be Short, To The Point
I had high hopes. I think everyone in the 127-square-mile district area that voted yes believed Issue 2 was going to pass. Everything was done the right way, everybody gave 110% percent. But the vote (last checked) was officially defeated by around 1,000 votes, 14,391-13,583; more like 800 votes. There is not much to say. I have to do my share of reporting just to keep this site going, and writing this has been painful. A good senior year has been taken away from me, and about 1200 others in the four high schools need to stay positive. No one accepts defeat easily. But we have to somehow keep going. I don’t know what else is left to say. I have two quotes, one from a great friend that is possibly going to Alder, and another quote from a student that goes to Grove City. I’m going to end on these two quotes.
–“Almost everyone is in something. And just think about if they didn’t have the opportunity to be in that—how that might have affected them. That’s what we’re going through. And consider not only us but also the city,” Grove City High School junior Lindsey Scarberry said.
–”It’s been a complete disgrace to call myself a resident of Grove City. Now that i officially have to move to Westerville or go to Alder, I’m quite relieved to be out of such a corrupt system of funding schools,” said disgruntled senior Chris Yanichko.
And I want to thank everyone for everything for the levy. I don’t know specific names of chairmen/women, but if you leave a comment on the post, I will be happy to put their names on here. Thanks for everything you guys/girls did, just didn’t get the positive result.
