It seems evident that community leaders and the people of Missouri City are adamant about keeping the engineering program that they have developed and grown at Marshall High School. It seems also clear that many are opening their eyes to how developers stack school boards in an effort to keep moving school programs around the district and reassigning schools in order to keep people chasing after homes in these newer and better served areas. In this way, it seems that Elkins may have needed that Engineering program to move slow home sales in Riverstone. People want to commit to their own communities instead of allowing developers to sell and manipulate ready-made communities, only until the developer devalues the older community in order to sell their next big development. Our school board must stop working for the developers in this form of planned obsolescence, and start working for the people. This manipulation of property value and communities through manipulating school resources is not sustainable, and it destroys everyone's roots within a community.

Where are they? Are they just placeholders? Don't they have any opinions? Their silence about these issues is deafening.
