The asbestos alone should be enough to shutter the school. Build a new one instead of trying to over crowd Ridgeview's classrooms.

I do not support the consolidation of high schools in Redmond, and closing of RHS until work can be done to make it to the NEW District Office

Sussie Due

We need more schools and less bar&grills and breweries. Closing that school will only create hardships in the other schools.

Darlene Martin

Backed by voters through a $110 million bond package passed in 2008 to build new schools, principally to alleviate overcrowding at RHS. Ridgeview was built in 2012 to accommodate 1,400 students. There is currently nearly 1,700 students between the two schools. So bring back the overcrowding?

You don't want to spend the money to repair the leaky pipes and remove the asbestos but you'll spend the money to convert it to office space for the city?

Learning needs will be negatively affected by longer days, less time in the classroom, and overall causing families to provide less supervision and structure for their children. All very bad for our kids.

TImothy Murphy

Students today are far behind those of a generation ago. This was exacerbated by unnecessary COVID "virtual education." How, in anyone's imagination could this improve their situation?

If only to improve air quality around schools, this is a good idea.

Kevin Crabtree

When Oregon Schools become better than 46 in the nation then we can worry about an Idle free zone the whole education system in Oregon needs to be Overhauled.

Is the air quality that bad? Maybe you should worry more about the air quality for our kids in the summer when the forest service lets massive fires burn out of control for two months. That would likely do more then turning your car off.

Not during winter cold spells.

Or hot weather months, so how about non at all!

Climates have been changing since God created the earth. China has and is channeling millions of dollars to climate activates, to make the U S more dependent on them and make us weaker reducing fossil fuel use which is totally wrong. We should not be chicken little's, the sky is not falling.

Drop them off a couple blocks away from school and make them walk. You know, a little exercise.

Jeff

More left wing virtue signaling nonsense that does nothing to resolve the alleged problem. It just inconveniences people. If you are worried about CO2, support the growth of nuclear power to replace coal. Otherwise stop pushing this crap on everyone else.

Jody Poltera

Because this is COMMUNISTS FUC....... CONTROL

Kimmy Wasatch

The climate crisis is all about gaining more control over people. The earth will do what the earth will do regardless of what we do. Liberal media and left liberal have sold this idea to our youth, sad.

Latterdaysaint

There is no climate crisis so what's the point!
