Dear editor Alansohn,

I am a PR resident and our school district is embroiled in a major debate over New construction or Rationalization. Please note PR BOE minutes and Recent Feasibility Study. What I am attempting to do is start to collect fact to guide the communities communication of those facts.

It's only the first post, and yes they are problems facing all schools, but I am focusing on the demographics and tax condition of this borough. Be patient as I develop this.

Here I logged in with a user name.

What is your suggestion on how to proceed?

Brand new Article with a link from Here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuchsfr (talk • contribs) 16:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was just spending the past 15 minutes looking through the details of the new state aid formula. While Park Ridge will see a 10% increase, that will be on top of a very small base. Park Ridge, as in an enormous number of districts county- and statewide, will be facing challenges. I would write up details of the unique way that this effects Park Ridge, and gather lists (and even better, links) to sources that describe what exactly the problem is. Minutes are OK, but articles in the Record (or other area newspapers) would probably be more useful. As an example, the issues you described in your first sentence re prospective construction, etc. were not listed in your edits to the article. A neutral explanation of the issues would be more than appropriate. Alansohn (talk) 16:51, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How it this approach I quotes from Park ridge school note (not On-line, but I will try to find a link to a local paper.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuchsfr (talk • contribs) 17:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Look at how I've added sources in the article. They begin with "<ref>"<nowiki> and end with "</ref>"</nowiki>. Put the link and or description of the link in between. Don't worry about the formatting; I'll clean it up, if needed. Alansohn (talk) 17:13, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
