Updated School and City Government Web Sites
Ok a soapbox has appeared for me top step on and vent. I live in a community of Carl Junction, Missouri in which I was raised and graduated school from. I have family and friends here along with my son being involved in the high school. I'm proud to call myself a citizen of the community because of the hard work many before me has put in to keep it thriving. HOWEVER, both the city and the school district websites are failing to update their web sites. The city posted a press release on January of 09 and the calendar is still on September 0f 08. I addressed the city manager of this situation and he replied it's not a big priority at this time. To me, a not-updated site is like having a tilt and broken sign in the front of your office and store. Shows no pride or care for what your doing. Same thing goes with the school web site. My son is involved with the school lay being on the stage crew. He let me know what time to be there, and of course i didn't enter it on my iCal on my phone, but I should have been able to go to the web site under high school events and get all the information there. I go there and there hasn't been one event (let me remind you of a 800+ students in high school) and no updates of the MANY events placed in the school. This puts an anger and a impulse to me to keep my own blog updated and consistent. I just do not see how with so many events and things to share with the world that a municipal government and a school district of 2000+ students do not have anything to say on expensive websites that have been placed there by tax payers.
