There are many other reasons people should oppose the Red Plan among them:

- The theft of our traditional voting rights.
- Central High's superior site for a high school or middle school
- Three high schools would be cheaper than this without risking the          excess levy
- an objection to the new boundaries drawn in the new facilities plan
- an objection to the magnitude and the excessive cost of the proposed plan
- the non existant discussion about elementary and middle school  demolition and whether this is a higher priority than teaching and programming
