FAQ About High School Overcrowding Solutions
In our June Democratic committee meeting we discussed the Koch brothers Americans for Prosperity collaboration with the Harrisonburg Republican Party on a partisan campaign to block needed progress in our schools.  The committee desired to send out this FAQ (frequently asked questions) to the list to allow each of us to be more informed on the important issue affecting our high school.  Please take a moment to review, and please reach out if you have questions or would like more information. This FAQ was compiled by Deb Fitzgerald  

-Alleyn Harned, HDC Chair
