More discussion needed on split

This letter is in regards to the recent decision by the Clark Fork Coalition to pursue a Clark Fork/Hope split from the Lake Pend Oreille School District.

It is necessary that the public, the LPOSD school board and the coalition be informed that after a survey of all certified and classified members of the staffs at Clark Fork Jr./Sr. High School and Hope Elementary School, it has been established that 4 percent support the split, 71 percent oppose the split and 25 percent remain undecided.

Based on the results of this survey, it is clear that much more discussion needs to take place before any further decisions are made.
