COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio-Community members are criticizing the Northwest Local School District for what they perceive as a lack of transparency regarding the approved master facility plan, which includes combining Northwest and Colerain High School. While the district claimed to base the plan on survey feedback, some residents argue that it does not align with community preferences.
Carrie Barnett, a former district employee, emphasized the need for accountability and transparency, urging the district to share the survey results openly. Although the survey indicated a preference for maintaining two high schools, the district opted for consolidation, sparking concerns about the decision-making process. Residents are calling for clarity and explanation regarding the discrepancy between survey results and the district’s actions.
