Now I don&#8217;t know for a fact, but several people have  said the new JCI school in Alborn has had concrete problems due to unstable  soils.  The gymnasium was not complete this fall, so the district was  &#8220;forced&#8221; to use the formerly inadequate gymnasium built in 1981 at the formerly  acceptable Cotton School.  <\/p>\n<p>We [St. Louis County Schools] will have a ballot issue to approve a new  excess operating levy because the district isn&#8217;t realizing savings from their  JCI reorganization plan.  The trouble is up here, our idiot people are more  concerned with sports, sports and more sports.  And if their kids make the  team, and the team wins, nothing else matters.  Many may vote for the levy  because the teacher&#8217;s union and school board will yodel &#8220;it&#8217;s about the  kids&#8221;. Not new textbooks, smart-boards, computers and advanced science,  math and industrial arts classes.
