Turn out the lights, night events are over at Hoover High School
My concern is that the school district has their priorities mixed up. They are spending $462,000 for lights, and the teachers don't have enough copy paper and supplies for the most important part of the school, teaching! Our business and several others were approached last year to help support the school, because the teachers had a "paper shortage". This was for Point Loma High School. I would not mind a few lights and a single evening football game on a Friday night, but that isn't the major problem with this. What they are proposing is spending countless dollars on sporting events and commercial use of our neighborhood schools. They should be focusing on improving education. Repairing restrooms on campus, enhancing the school library, upgrading science labs, including music, art, and PE into each child's education. These funds need to be more appropriately spent.— September 23, 2013 7:05 p.m.
