To the best of my knowledge, here is the 2nd question on the ballot. Yes, it is from Citizens For Common Sense as I couldn't find it on the District's site (If this is not the question, please inform me of that.):

"Westonka School Ballot Question 2:
Westonka ISD277 is requesting authority to issue...a $57,985,000 bond to build a new middle school to be built attached onto Mound Westonka High School; upgrades to Shirley Hills Primary School, upgrades to Hilltop Primary School,  upgrades and an addition onto MW High School; abandon and sell Grandview Middle School; purchase additional land adjacent to MWHS for physical education and athletic programs.   

Vote Yes or No. By Voting "Yes", you are voting for a property tax increase."

I believe the point was made recently in Laker that Grandview may not be demolished, it depends on who buys it. I can't see much of a chance of it not being demolished if this goes through. What else could it be? Perhaps a private school. So how is this whole situation like in 1999 when they demolished the old High School?

There is an image from Sandy's Town that shows the old High School being demolished. Look here: Sandy's  Scroll 3/4s down the page and see the backhoe at work.
