Dedicated to Securing A Truly Perfect Location for Goffstown's Future Kindergarten & Elementary Schools

The Great Deception
Numerous Instances of Disinformation Well Documented

GOFFSTOWN  -  "During the deliberative session, attempts to discuss the factual details were suppressed.  Voters did not receive the proper technical information about the site, and instead were given inaccurate information such as 'there are no significant wetlands'." - Conservation Commission Report on the Glen Lake Kindergarten Site, July 13, 2005

The above quote pretty much says it all.  Taxpayers in Goffstown, along with many others, have been told many lies and "non-truths" throughout the entire process of selecting a site for our kindergarten.  In addition, much information was withheld and suppressed prior to the March 2005 town vote.  The entire process by which the Glen Lake property was selected and presented to the voters - and to others - as the "perfect" location for our kindergarten has been fraught with deception, as seen in the information provided below.

The GRA is fully supportive of a kindergarten - and a new elementary school - for Goffstown.  Our goal is to secure the best location for both, nothing more.  But in working toward this goal, the activities of the school district and the Board of Selectmen, and the truth about what's been going on behind the scenes, are fast becoming exposed.  As such, the school district and selectmen would have you believe that the GRA is made up of 3 or 4 NIMBYs (not in my backyard) trying to block a much-needed kindergarten just to keep it out of their neighborhood.  

Nothing could be further from the truth, and they know it.  The fact is, the GRA now has a membership of nearly 100, and continues to grow.  Our members are all residents, taxpayers and voters.  They come from as far from the Glen Lake site as Pinardville, and as close as Elm Street.   And they have joined the GRA because they are upset at what they're discovering about the activities of Goffstown's elected officials.  The Board of Selectmen and the school district are aware of this, and they're worried about it...

Please read our Mission Statement, read the Conservation Commission Report, then read the information below.  Once you do, we are confident you will join our effort.
