The Big Toxic School: Wilkes-Barre Area's Tale of Corruption, Deception, Taxation & Tyranny (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947402867)

The Big Toxic School! This is Wilkes-Barre Area's tale of corruption, deception, taxation & tyranny. It is a struggle for safe, enduring neighborhood schools. We can't wait until there are no Wilkes-Barre high schools and the tax burden is unsustainable. In this book, you will learn about the actions taken by a democratically elected board of directors whose job is to manage the affairs of the Wilkes-Barre Area School District. Unfortunately, in this book and through other sources, you will also learn that though this board was duly elected by the people, they lied about their intentions. In fact, they misrepresented themselves by agreeing, if elected, to represent the people and provide for the needs of the people above all else. We will cite quotations from citizens subject to the board's dictates. You will see that this board has chosen to follow a corrupt course of action rather than follow the known wishes of the people of the area which they serve. The essence of the issue in dispute is whether perfectly maintainable and well-built and historically relevant neighborhood school structures in the City of Wilkes-Barre should be abandoned, discarded, and torn down so that the board can build its idea of a Taj Mahal School on top of a toxic mine dump, in a community outside the city expected to give up its high schools for this folly. The three WB City High Schools currently meet the needs of the students and the taxpayers of the City of Wilkes-Barre. Coughlin, GAR, and Meyers.
