Rosemary Harrison's Bombshell to Missoula - the 158 million dollar bond passed on November 4, 2015

I've mentioned in many of my blog posts both on the Prescott School Missoula blog and the  Missoula schools watchdog and Missoula school watchdog  blogs (all using the Blogger blogging program)problems caused to the school district by former MCPS Trustee Rosemary Harrison.

I feel that I need to add more about this woman who has done such harm to our school district and to our city.

Former Trustee and Former MCPS Board Chair Rosemary Harrison:

Voted to close Emma Dickinson School in the late 1990's in a rushed process (2 weeks) -

Voted to close Roosevelt School in the late 1990's in a rushed process -

Voted to lease Roosevelt School immediately after the closure to a private school for what many think was a sweetheart deal in a rushed process -

Voted to sell Roosevelt School in 2005 for what many say was again, was a sweetheart deal (sale price was based on the sweetheart lease rate) in a rushed process -

Voted to close Prescott two or three times (2001 and 2003) (these closures were reversed after the spring elections) -

Voted to close three schools in the northeast part of our city in 2004. There was a second vote on these closures due to a forced repeat meeting due to violations by her and other trustees in the closure process -

Voted to lease yet another one of our public schools which she voted to close to a private school. Harrison voted to privatize two of our public schools, Roosevelt to a religious school which violates the state constitution and Prescott School to Missoula International School. Both of these private school remain to this day in two schools which we owned for years, one school for more than a century(Prescott).

And now - because we Missoulians, some oblivious to this woman's disloyal and irresponsible actions, voted to close another school, Cold Springs.

Former MCPS Trustee, Rosemary Harrison, has another feather in her cap, on the number of schools she has closed. In this latest school closure, that of Cold Springs, she, and I am suspecting it was her, wisely on her part, avoided the "C" word (closure) by sneakily (her and Clark's modus operani during her stint on the Board with her good friend and partner in crime - former Superintendent Jim Clark) actions, voted to close another school, Cold Springs.

Missoula school watchdog, because of my experiences both as a victim of the 2004 school closures and as a watchdog of MCPS is, on this blog post with the above substantiation, am accusing Rosemary Harrison responsible for a large part if not the instigating person of this 158 million dollar bond.

For this reason, Missoula school watchdog is calling this 158 million dollar bond a scandal and is also calling for an investigation of the bond procedure with looking into the actions of Rosemary Harrison during this process and her role in the process.
