North Vancouver School Board shafts Public Input Process

The North Vancouver School Board, despite overwhelming opposition, is now putting the sale of the Cleveland Forest back on the table. 

Despite a public input process that showed overwhelming opposition to the board's intention to sell off green space adjacent to Cleveland Elementary School, the board managed to sideline the tremendous public opposition with an 'alternate' plan.  Now, the board has deemed the alternate plan to be a non-starter.  

Instead of showing leadership in the health of welfare of children, the board is intent on selling off the property to cash in on sky-high land prices in North Vancouver, ignoring countless studies that show green play space actually makes for better kids.

Now the board is telling the public that if they care so damn much about the green space, they can buy it from the board.  Apparently no-one on the NV School Board seems to realize that public money paid for the land in the first place.  Is it possible they've been studying the original sale of Manhattan as a model ?
