The future of the district's three high schools is on the minds of many, as residents will vote on a critical bond issue in November.
It comes months after the school board gave the go-ahead for a new consolidation plan that would eventually close Normandy High School and Valley Forge High School, sending all students to a newly built Parma Senior High School.In fact--Parma voters will play an integral part when a bond issue is voted on during the November election.“Ultimately new is never bad--so I’m all in," said dad Christopher Pinciotto.In particular, they are thrilled over the proposed $237.
"It is an investment in our community, it's an investment in children. And we're hopeful that the residents will see, you know, the need and the wisdom of investing," said Smialek.The construction of the sole Parma Senior High School hinges on a 3.95 mill bond issue on November’s ballot.Smialek says the state's going to pay approximately $72 million for the financing of the project.
However, the question remains, will Parma taxpayers be willing to dig deeper into their pockets for a new high school, closing Valley Forge and Normandy to centralize into one high school? "If there can't be a new school because we can't fund it, we sit on that plan for some time. How long that would be? It'll be dependent upon a lot of different variables," said Smialek."I don’t really care how much this goes up. I really value the education," said Pinciotto.Regardless—the district will move forward with the consolidation plan and only Normandy and Valley Forge will exist next school year.
