Before everyone jumps on the OLD bandwagon
about using or not using the old middle school, stop and
remember!
No one will deny, now or before, that the
old middle school couldn't be rennovated. That was NOT the point.
The point is, and was, the cost.
Not only would we have spent just a much money as we spent
on the new middle school and maybe more (who knows how much the developer
has spent since it isn't public information) but we would still
have had NO parking, NO green space, NO fields for intermural or varsity
activities, NO safety for the children on that busy street and the list could go
longer.
In addition, don't forget that the rules that the
developer is remodeling by are DIFFERENT than those we would have had to follow
to remodel for a school. And, to top it all off, the state agencies that
WOULD NOT allow us to even consider remodeling.
It is so easy to sit in an arm chair someplace and make
unsubstantiated statements. Get out on the firing line once and
open your ears to the facts. Whether we like the
facts or not, denying them won't solve any problems.
