Last week my dad showed me this article about the possible expansion/remodeling of New Trier East. The expansion, as of right now, is estimated to be about $185 million, which would cause an increase of $335 per year for taxpayers. This renovation would include a new cafeteria and a new technology/arts building, in addition to a regulation indoor track, volleyball courts, a climbing wall, and an underground parking lot. The plan must first be approved by the NT Township School District board and if approved the article stated it would be sent to voters in February.
I wasn't sure about who these 'voters' are, because the article did not specify them, but that made me think about who the voters should be. I feel like the students and teachers at New Trier should have some say in the matter, considering that they are the ones using the facilities. However in addition I definitely think our parents should represent a majority of the voting because they are the ones paying the higher taxes.
Who has the right to vote in this situation?
Does authority result in voting rights?
What do you think about the possible expansion?
