North Fargo has unused classrooms; south Fargo needs space
November 21, 2010 at 6:00 pm in INFORUM
A steady erosion of students in north Fargo and burgeoning numbers at elementary schools in the School District’s far south is forcing the School Board to decide whether it needs to build classrooms, bus students or reconfigure boundaries. Continue Reading
Reconfigure the boundaries; problem solved.

As long as your willing to pay for it.. have at it. But when you guys were told your assessments were going to as high as they were for Davies all we heard you guys do is whine about ‘My taxes are to high’…
Redraw the lines and institute a busing law.

My school taxes (and yours)go to pay for the “Fargo Public Schools” not north or south schools. ALL schools, ALL kids.

Anybody who calls North Fargo a “rathole” doesn’t know squat about those neighborhoods. A heck of a lot more character around there than down by Davies, and home values are strong.

Wow! “Rathole”? Maybe you should be told that the students of that so-called “rathole” outscore the South High students on the ACT. Maybe you should know that the students of that “rathole” have more opportunities to become involved because the school is smaller. Let’s face it the problem is that Davies should not have been built. I am for redrafting the boundaries, however I know that parents will hit the roof when the school board tries (again), and the problem will continue. Unless we have a school board that isn’t going to care what parents want, things will stay the same. About five years ago the School board sent Hawthorne students north. the next year they were back south (parents complained). There are no popular answers
Hot debate. What do you think?

It is people like you Reality, that I do not want to live next to, nor do I want my children around you! We choose to live and send our children to school on the North side, and have never regreted our decision. We are friend’s with our neighbor’s and actually know their name’s, unlike many on the South side. We are blessed to live on the North side, and will never move down South!

My original comment was removed. How do you think kevin became so popular with his retort? You owe me kevin.

Actually I don’t live there but I used to. It’s a great area I wouldn’t hesitate to move back to.
Your rantings about police and freedom is nonsense. And the corridors of 12th Ave N, 19th Ave N, University N, and 10th St N move traffic far better than ANY roads in South Fargo, which are all cluttered with stoplights. Nice try, but you only reaffirmed that you don’t know anything about living there.

I thought this was the reason we just built a god damn new high school. Hi we’re Fargo South. We are running out of room, and we need a new high school, so we got the new high school, but now we don’t have enough kids to put into all of our sports, but we still don’t have enough room, …. blah blah blah.

I live in North Fargo and as far as I am concerned it is the best area of town to live in. This rathole is helping to pay for that golden palace Davies High, which is not needed but just had to be built by idiots on the school board and a few whining types from gated communties on the South side. As for subsidizing, who do you think has to pick up the tab for the 2 years your new houses are tax free from?

Oh Skibum,
I can see you just aren’t “getting it”
Don’t you feel equality of outcome is more important than a quality education?
I can see there is a “sensitivity training” training session in your future
