Fill doesn't help the septic from overflowing. A donation of $2000; wasn't it over a Million to fill the place? - see quote - and wouldn't it be cheaper to just relocate the school?

Currently the school is paying $140 for 7 cubic yards (one truck load) or 8,571 loads costing $1,225,149BZ That's to fill the entire 8.6 acres UNBELIEVABLE!!! They are talking with some folks who have a dredge (Johnston International) that could do the fill for half the price of dump trucks - that's only $612,574.00

There is always talk about the sewer coming up here. $2000. is a bandaid on multiple fractures. And it always shuts concerned citizens up because it appears that something is being done. There is no fill left from last year but there are 200 more students. I don't mean to be weird but where do these kids wash their hands after.... since they do not have town water or a well or an aquafir that is not contaminated.It is tons cheaper to move the school to the other side of the bridge and there may be room for a playground or at least and area to safely step off of the decking.
