Gloucester, (Swamp) Page Middle School Future Views?


Come one come all to the ground breaking ceremony of the new school being built in the middle of a swamp.  A school already mired in very real potential scandals before construction even beings.  Come out and celebrate with those who think they have every right to your future earnings to pay for whatever it is they want.

  The above picture is to give you an idea of what the new Page Middle school may just look like after only a few years.  Sinking back down into the swamp it's being built on, that is provided it is not blown apart because the school is not been built to handle standards of withstanding even a class 2 hurricane.

So a weak tropical storm may just come in and blow the house down?  And all at the very low cost of 26 million dollars not to include the future interest.  But hey, it's your money and not theirs so who cares right?  The Gloucester officials can always put through another bond for 35 million for yet another school and stick you with that bill as well.  

  The ground breaking ceremony is today and Gloucester officials are asking you to come out and support this.  The event starts at 4:00 PM at the grounds of the site of the new school location.  Parking will be at the Gloucester, High school and you will be bused to the new site as there is no parking a the new site yet.

  Monday, September 23rd, 2013.  4:00 PM.  You can go to the high school as early as 3:00 PM to be bused to the new site.   Are you excited about seeing how your tax dollars are being wasted?  


Just remember to keep an eye on any of your loved ones.  Last thing anyone wants to see is another scene like the one above.  Should you see this view while there? Just look the other way please and pretend you didn't see anything.  In fact, help out and cover the hand or foot up with a brick or something.

Future cafeteria views as the swamp takes back over it's rightful place in the area?  Aquatic learning with real life situations?

Proud parents will want to come out to the new swamp school to take pictures of their children playing outside with the new game, swamp ball?


Gloucester Officials may want to follow the lead of China with new school bus issues, getting the children in and out of the school area in the swamp.

But hey, again, it's only 26 million.  Pocket change, right?

So come one, come all.  Remember, it's all about the children.

Gloucester, VA To Get Illegal Middle School? What To Expect - Part 4

Part 4 in our series asking the question; is Gloucester, Virginia going to get a potentially illegal middle school?  



  As we understand it, it is not the state's job to monitor every little aspect of law and or code at the local level of every locality.  The state depends highly on the people to report potential waste, fraud and or abuse and then the state investigates if the argument has merit.  We believe that we have already shown merit to warrant a state investigation should the Board of Supervisors vote and approve the new bond as it presently stands.

  From what we see, Gloucester officials have created implied contracts so strong as to potentially warrant violations to state codes.

  The above is an internal link to part one of this story where we explore a number of the issues we see.  In our opinion and looking at all the facts, we believe that the Board of Supervisors will be pushing this plan through no matter what the citizens of the county say.  We expect a vote of at least 5 to 2 on approval if not a full swing across the board 7 out of 7 approval.

  Even if you show up and voice very strong concerns, what can you expect?  The board will thank you for your input when you are done speaking and tell you that they will take it under advisement.  (In other words, yeah yeah, who cares attitude).  They will be very polite about it, but it's their vote that will tell you the truth of the matter.  As we said, we expect them to vote it though no matter what.  We have shown through their own documents that they have every intention of moving forward with this.

  The only way to stop it would be to request state investigations after they approve the bond.  File a waste, fraud and abuse report.  We encourage Gloucester government employees who have more knowledge about the inside workings to file these claims as well.  (Don't worry, you will be protected under whistleblower laws).

Here is the Hotline information.  It is available for download from our SlideShare site.  Click the bottom right hand corner icon to enlarge the PDF file for viewing.



The Blueprint in printable form for stopping this particular issue from going forward.  We all have to let the Board of Supervisors know what we think about how they are handling these plans and that they can each, be held personally liable and financially liable for making the wrong decisions.  It must be made clear that they had better make sure what they are doing will stand up against a state investigation.  We will be watching the Board of Supervisors on this.  Once the vote is in, if they approve the bond, we will start filing for a state investigation and suggest everyone else do so as well.

Now we are not attorney's and none of this is to be considered legal advice.  Only a competent attorney can legally advise you.  We are simply questioning everything we see, researching what we can and asking tough questions.  Please weigh your own actions appropriately.

The bond hearing meeting will be on Tuesday, August 6th, 2013 at the Gloucester County Courthouse in the historical courthouse circle.
