Which County?

Does anyone know which County the site is in (we need that for the County cat). It seems to be near the boundary of two. TerriersFan 01:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually fairly well north of the DuPage/Will line. It will be just south of 75th Street, and the county line is actually at about 87th Street. MVHS will be in DuPage, like WVHS, and unlike NVHS (and MV and WV are both in Aurora is in Naperville: Aurora is mostly in Kane and Naperville is mostly in DuPage - go figure). --JohnDBuell 02:17, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOL - many thanks; these things are always a bit of a puzzle to we Brits :-) TerriersFan 02:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stray bracket

Thanks for that; I was baffled as to where that one had come from :-) TerriersFan

Possible information merge or relocation

Someone may want to move the notes on the controversies of the balloting required to get construction of this school funded, from the district's article. Also worth looking into: It took two ballots to get the construction bond to pass - the first attempt was much more ambitious, and included technology funds and other items, the second attempt was for the high school only. The land condemnation issue, which will probably go to court and delay construction and opening stems from the first ballot attempt - that bond amount was created based on property values in 2004 or 2005 (I don't have the information at hand), and the land's trustees are now claiming that they should get MORE from the school district for increases in property values between the time the first land value estimate was done before the first vote, and the present day. Lastly, there has been quite a bit of press locally (particularly in the newspapers of the Sun-Times News Group (Aurora Beacon-News and Naperville Sun)) about a developer making an offer of other land, which the district repeatedly states is unsuitable. It's part of the FAQs on their "third high school" web page. --JohnDBuell 03:07, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good points - I have imported some material. TerriersFan 04:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Metea Valley High School has roughly 2,500 students in the entire school from 9th grade to 12th grade.

Object in parentheses

" (just north of the Cambridge Chase subdivision near Eola Rd.)" this piece of the article seems to me to be unnecessary and as almost an act of advertising towards the Cambridge Chase Subdivision. I recommend its removal. 67.184.97.111 (talk) 04:22, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done (though in the future, feel free to remove it yourself, and explain, just as you did, on the talk page). LonelyBeacon (talk) 05:24, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of "Group Interpretation"

Is this really that notable? Generally a eighteenth place finish in state, while good, is not notable enough to include in a school article.99.141.240.120 (talk) 02:02, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
