Questions About Proposed School In Colfax
Dear Editor,
I wanted to share this rush job of a zoning application. In the beginning we were told this school would be K-8 but their application lists it as K-9. This is one example of their rush job of an application. Further down the application, under lot combination, you can see, “do we need this?” Shouldn’t they know what they need since they’ve hired the best company and attorney (who work together very often) to steamroll over the Colfax citizens?
The GCS attorney and superintendent raved about the car rider line being a double stacked lane, but on the application, when it asks for a description of the lane – “do we need this?” Rush job.
Further down the application, the road improvements are listed as well as maps around the area. If you put together the improvements and the maps it is very easy to tell that everything will go in a circle and get locked up. GCS also said they fixed the 90 degree curve that the buses would let out to. That “fix” is nowhere to be found on any plans. It looks like they have moved the bus lane slightly north on Boylston. But wait, the buses won’t be able to turn in or out because they’re also coming from High point and will be in the grid lock traffic.
There is a section titled review factors. Every single one of these can be disputed with multiple pieces of evidence. Another section is called reasonable/public interest. Not sure how they will try to prove that one.
All of this information was due on 4/11/2023 but was turned in on 4/18/2023. A little late, don’t you think? Buildhighpoint.com shows all of the facts revolving this case. Time and time again GCS continues to get by with either the absolute bare minimum or their lying ways, which are approved of by the City Council and county commissioners. Check out all of their Facebook posts. They seem very friendly to me.
Thanks, Rhino, for always writing the truth.

Hahaha! And that’s not all! They couldn’t even spell the names right on the application. But hey, let’s give them a multimillion dollar project to pull off! I told a friend of mine who has not lived here for awhile what they were doing. Her first questions were “How is that even going to fit?” and “What moron thought this was a good idea?” That pretty much sums it up!
You are dealing with GCS…YOUR standards are way to high. You are able to think, they can’t.
I’m still shocked at the immaturity on display at the school board meeting. Let’s just say the planted speakers won’t be winning Oscars any time soon. Ridiculous. Sadly, they probably have no idea how transparent they are. As a regular citizen I was wondering what on earth I’d walked into. People don’t fawn over each other like that in normal life. I was embarrassed for them. And all that most of the school board did was play on their phones the whole time out of either boredom or avoidance measures. The whole scene was quite fascinating. Everyone should go see for yourself at least once.
This rush job is the “Trojan Horse” . GCS and CBRE are in bed together to get development in this area of Guilford County. A lot of development means a lot of $$$!
GCS says they had 13 other sites to consider??? But won’t name them ?? I believe this is the “only” site , the site to further their agenda!
Why else would they look at a site half the size they need , with no infrastructure and only .6 miles from the Forsyth county line.!
Something shady with this whole situation!
