Why not let voters determine school building's fate?

To the editor:
How about two cents from an old codger? A little late, but as they say, better late than never.
A question: Can impeachment proceedings be brought against elected officials for not doing what their constituents want?
The Hillsboro school board decided to demolish the old high school. They profess it was the hardest decision they ever had to make. If it was so difficult, why not put it before the voters for a vote?
They could let the voters decide and save themselves such hard feelings. They could have at least explained to the voters the reasoning behind
their decision.
Many questions go unanswered. Why did they put a minimum price of $2 million on the sale price? Why not sell
to the highest bidder?
And to say that they never heard any suggestions from the public is not true. The old codger (me) submitted a plan for a new high school and preserving the old high school. But no response.
I’m not even a graduate of Hillsboro High School. Well, impeachment might sound a little harsh, but there’s election day coming up. Good luck, from the old codger.
Sincerely,
Robert “Buck” Rogers
