This is posted for a friend. Please direct responses to him and not to me. His address is shown below. Thanks. ************************************************************************ Alexander Dawson has a Proposal You Should See A proposal put forth by the Alexander Dawson Foundation (ADF) comes in front of the Boulder County Land Use Board (LUB) on Wednesday, November 15, sometime after 1:30 p.m. If you are a parent of children at Alexander Dawson School (ADS) or may send children to ADS in the future, attending this meeting should be a high priority. If you are a Boulder County taxpayer concerned with educational quality or possible legal liabilities this proposal may introduce, you should also attend. If you can't attend but would like to convey concerns or questions, I would be happy to carry your letter to the LUB meeting on Wednesday. If so, please state which of the above groups you fall into. Requesting that the LUB table consideration of the proposal to allow adequate review by all concerned couldn't hurt. To prepare for the LUB meeting, standard procedures regarding communications about this proposal have been followed. However, the parties that will be most affected by it have been left out of the process altogether--namely, the ADS students and their parents. Since these parents pay private tuition dollars to send their children to ADS, they are also arguably the most interested in the outcome of this process. This proposal is about neither a residential development nor a standard commercial development though it contains elements of both. It's about a private school with no oversight by the State Board of Education. ADS is rooted in this county and hopefully provides fruits to us. Schools can have very long respectable histories, they can be embarrassing failures, or languish somewhere in between. You should ask yourself which type you support, and take appropriate measures. This proposal needs to be evaluated as a special case. It has potential impacts for far too many people to be handled following just the standard procedures mentioned above. Its impacts, both short- and long-term, need to be understood fully by all affected parties before enactment. Discussion encouraged, but please email or better yet fax me any letters you wish passed on to the board, since I don't get this newsgroup and this post is being performed by a friend.
