Point of View
Do you think it is important for Shawnee to be bicycle-friendly?
I think it’s important. I do love and use the paths, but it would be nice to have lanes so we could use bikes to run errands - saving gas!
Concerned taxpayer
I appreciate Mr. Dyche's concern to maintain a great public education for our children. However, he is grossly mistaken on one point - competitive bidding on construction projects. If the school district did not engage in competitive bidding, as he suggests, then the Kansas Attorney General would have long ago taken action. Perhaps Mr. Dyche should seek the truth before sending a letter to the editor with false information. Allow me to clarify for Mr. Dyche. What he really meant to say is that the Board of Education did not seek qualifications for professional construction management services. Big difference. No matter who the construction manager is for the Board -- it MUST, by law, go to competitive bidding for construction.

De Soto Board OKs November bond vote
The corrrect address for the proposed elementary #7 is 58th & Belmont in Shawnee. The property is already owned by the school district and is located just west of K-7 and south of 55th street. - Alvie Cater, Community Relations - USD #232
