Statement from Dustin T. White,Council District 1, regarding Comprehensive Plan, Quality of
Life Section, Goal 4:
In no manner should a court of law, administrative body, arbitrator or mediator consider the
language of this proposed and subsequently adopted Comprehensive Plan as indicating support
of, or justification for, an additional middle school in the North/Northeast section of
Jeffersonville. Likewise, the language of this Comprehensive Plan does not provide support of,
or justification for, the closure of Parkview Middle School.
The only Goal presented in this Comprehensive Plan is to"hold periodic meetings with school
district officials to discuss future plans and areas of possible collaboration". The plain meaning
of this Goal's Recommendation, without implication of interpretations, is what should be
considered when reviewing Goal 4, of the Quality of Life Section, of the Comprehensive Plan
adopted today.
