I wore my shirt today. :(

Has anyone checked in with SPUSD lately?

Do we know how long we have to say good-bye to Isbell?

Hello all: hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Just a quick update from me on -

I’m tired. I’m exhausted. I can’t fight this fight anymore. I’ve been yelling for 3 years into the abyss to preserve history. To . But SPUSD will do what they do. My voice is tired and weak.

But I’ll add - that if you want to - please share. Talk. Write. Talk to your network. Talk with SPUSD and ask them to . Ask them about the $. Ask them about who pays for this demolish? Ask them about the $ they spent on the literacy library center at Isbell. WHY did SPUSD do that to just destroy the ENTIRE building a few years later?

So many questions. Someone should hold SPUSD accountable for destroying our town’s history. And for wasting our money. Someone should have to respond.

Please. Please help .

Hi everyone. Thank you for being here. I’m not sure where I stand with any hope that we can , but at least SPUSD is (hopefully) at least PAUSING before destroying our town’s history.

In retrospect I’ve inadvertently created a PAGE and group. Of course they’re one in purpose. Just to clarify.

I implore you….if you haven’t yet already shared your voice, please contact SPUSD and encourage them to . I promise you, if they destroy Isbell, they’ll come for the other historical buildings in our town. 😵‍💫

How are SPUSD going to pay for destroying Isbell? Hmmm? Also, why are SPUSD SO QUICK to spend the taxpayers money? Remember the literacy center SPUSD put in at Isbell? That money that we pay in taxes just went down the TOILET.

Why didn’t SPUSD retrofit Isbell years ago and use THAT money to make Isbell “safe”!?

Asking for a friend.

Thank you all.
