with the district's school buildings and properties. This study was spread out over a two year period.
When I attended some of the MCPS meetings lead by Nick Salmon, who is employed by CTA Architects in Missoula, I was troubled by some of his suggestions. Glass classrooms. Multiple lunch areas. Group learning areas and other unfamiliar school environments.
It did seem that there was an agenda behind his work as it smacked of something so much "out of the ordinary".
If one reads the profile on Nick Salmon it explains a lot. Salmon has done work for and is connected to Smart Growth. Smart Growth is a concept of city planning which has garnered a lot of controversy when it is introduced into a community.
This revelation, that of Nick Salmon being connected to the Smart Growth idea of planning should make citizens pause when voting for the huge bond being brought before the voters this November.
A clue to Nick Salmon's ties to Smart Growth also resides in the name of the study for which he was responsible -
"Smart Schools 2010"
