Before you respond to one of your bloggers about the disappearance of funds that were donated to the School District for bleachers you should check your facts with someone from the School District. The funds donated by Mr. Nichol for new bleachers have been held by the School District for that project. Now that new bleachers will be constructed as part of the D2D project, the funds will be used for the purpose intended.
Your allusion to the misapplication of funds is disingenuous, at best.
RESPONSE TO MR CARLTON
Mr Carlton
Sorry that I cannot call the School District about every question that comes up in connection with D2D. Perhaps even more sorry is that the School District and Board have not been very good in communicating the facts behind D2D.
In reviewing the D2D website www.drivetodistinction.org there is NO mention of the John Nickoll donation.
In reviewing the School District website www.shorewoodschools.org the information on D2D refers viewers Back to the D2D Website Above !
In the articles in the Milw JS on D2D, there is no mention of the John Nickoll donation.
In the articles in ShorewoodNow on D2D, there is no mention of John Nickoll donation.
After exhaustive research, the only reference I could find to the John Nickoll donation, was in a link from the School District Website to an Alumni newsletter from 2006, on page six, in an article from Rick Monroe about the proposed new facilities.
You spell the donor's name as Mr Nichol, while Mr Monroe spells the donor's name as Nickoll.
I think it is sad that someone makes a donation to the School District --- and does not receive recognition for his donation --- and can't even get his name spelled correctly !
