The Eagle toes the District line but can't seem to investigate the legitimate concerns of those against this boondoggle bond issue. It’s all about power and expansion of their domain.

He was probably looking at the district's trendline. Given Brooks' flimsy credentials, it was probably as much as he could handle to manage average annual enrollment growth of 0.108%. The statement from the article that got me was the bond issue from "eight years ago that bailed out a city from a depressed post-9/11 economy while making necessary improvements to the school district." I don't see much evidence of a thriving economy on my rare trips up there, and my former USD 259 classmates seem to be buying their houses as close as they can to the city while making sure they're in the Goddard or Maize school districts.
