A new school under construction will provide an evacuation area for students on its roof. CBS NEWS Superintendent Paula Akerland says voters approved an additional 2 million for the emergency structure.
The community they were looking at the safety of not just their children now but generations in the future Akerland said. This is not an affluent community so it was a huge commitment. Other evacuation plans and seismic upgrades are taking place. But not nearly fast enough say the experts. Back at Seaside Oregon three years ago the school district did try moving all its students to a new campus outside the tsunami zone. But when they found out it would take an 18 percent property tax increase the voters rejected the measure by a margin of almost twotoone.
Dahler asked When the bond measure to move the schools to a safer area failed were you surprised Oh I was not only surprised but heartbroken replied Dougherty. Its just very very expensive for our local citizens to foot the bill entirely. I hope people dont understand the implications of their decisions because that would basically be writing off an entire school districts student population.
With no money from the state or the federal government Dougherty says hes planning to retire and work for another ballot campaign for a new campus. And back at Oregon State Chris Goldfinger continues to warn about a disaster that science says is just a matter of time.
