Crowded halls should cause concern

I’m voting “Yes” to support The Cheney School District.

I love living in the West Plains Area, I have lived here for 16 years. I have four great kids. They are smart and are fun to be around. Two of my children have graduated from Cheney High School and I currently have one in the high school and one to be there soon.

There are several times I need to go to the high school during lunch to pick up my son for appointments. I’m always concerned how crowded the halls are when the students are changing classes. The students can’t even make it through the halls to get to their next class. I have asked my son what is lunch like and he said, “I have to eat on the floor in the hallways because there is no room in the lunch room.”

We also really need to update the building for security reasons too. We need to keep the students safe. Let’s give them a place they can learn and be successful. Who knows, maybe someday a student from Cheney High School could be the next President of the United States.
