Lack of space is personal

There were facts and figures, but it was the personal accounts that resonated with the people.

Sunday’s tour and meeting at Humphrey Public School for the proposed $39.5 million 7-12 facility included the design of the school and tax impact, but the human element presented by parents and staff gave attendees a view of what’s at the heart of the project — the kids.

Kelli Wegener and Tricia Weidner each have special needs students attending HPS, and both praised the services while describing why a larger facility is needed to better serve their children and all students in the district.
