I don’t recall the board discussing the Camas school site, and I certainly don’t recall any decision to not write or support a letter! (I think you may be confusing this with the board’s vote not to support the CALC event funding.)</p>

I attended the information session at Edison last night. Here is a summary of what I heard:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Although 4j prefaced their presentation as only an "option, with no decisions having been made", there were not other options presented with the same level of detail. It is clear that at some point they were/are leaning toward the option of permanently relocating
Camas, and using the old Camas as a temporary site for Edison while Edison is rebuilt in it's current location. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Some of the obstacles they identified with rebuilding Camas in it's current location:</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">

</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
where do Camas students go while the new school is being built?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
the Camas site contains multiple terraces (it's built on a hill) that would require a retaining wall and some "drainage issues" in the lower field to be addressed</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">

<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
To me, these aren't reasonable obstacles. For one, did the district consider where Camas students would go when they decided to include it in the bond? If they didn't, what an oversight! </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
The Willard site is also on a hill...</p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
The option of a "prefab" at the Willard site for a temporary location for both Camas and Edison was mentioned. The district was quick to point out that this would "cost even more money". It was clear that they had not considered other options, but that they
had considered why the current Camas site wasn't the "best"' option. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">

</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
We need to keep the pressure on the district. Since the board is not supporting a letter as a group (which is really disappointing), I suggest individuals email the 4j board and let them know that they need to think about other options. Relocating Camas should
be farther down the list, not at the top. </p>

It would be nice to know why Willard is now in the conversation. However, my primary issue is why this wasn't discussed as a possibility when the bond was on the ballot. The 4j board is quickly losing credibility: as news of this spreads, other neighborhoods
and school communities are becoming concerned (Southeast, South University and Edison, and Friendly). This is a broader issue than one site costing more than another.</p>

We should question how the Willard site will cost less. They still have to demolish the old buildings and the site also has elevation change to deal with, which is costly under current ADA rules. The Willard site is about 9.79 acres and the Camas site is 7.12
acres which may make the construction phasing a little bit easier (it may be cramped to build a new building on the Camas site while keeping the school in operation).</p>

The Amazon Neighbors Association (ANA) strongly urges the 4j board to present options and prioritize the rebuild of Camas Ridge Community Elementary in it's current location.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">

<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
ANA has consistently partnered with and supported our schools and members of the 4j board. Prior to the last 4j board election, we hosted a forum for 4j board candidates in conjunction with Safe Routes to School. The primary topic that candidates addressed
was the importance of safe walking and bicycling routes to school. ALL candidates agreed that this was an important topic and creating and retaining these transportation options for students was important to the health of the community. The proposal to relocate
Camas to the previous Willard site would greatly diminish the ability of students to safely walk and bike to school, by introducing busy and congested streets to students' commutes. Many families would be forced to drive their students to school, adding even
more traffic to 24th and 30th avenues and the surrounding neighborhoods.</p>
</div>

<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
The most recent presentation by 4j referenced the millions of dollars it would cost to rebuild Camas in it's current location. Voters just approved the largest ever bond measure that highlighted replacing multiple schools. There was no mention of even the possibility
of relocation. Why is this? Had 4j not accurately estimated the cost of replacing the schools? Was the district purposely keeping this new-to-the public possibility a secret? This is a major breach of trust and carries with it the potential to shake the confidence
of voters. </p>
