The district will need the school eventually and right now the cost of construction is the lowest it will ever be. This is long-term planning that does not impact the current budget problems. Up keep and maintenance of the new site will not make a dent in the $2.2 million that the school district needs to keep class sizes down and libraries and PE programs staffed. If we want those things for our schools we are going to have to do something pro-active about it. This new school site is a separate issue.

Enrollment in the district is flat at best. Teaching positions are being eliminated as are programs such as art, music, and PE. Even if the money is not directly transferable, there is still the ongoing cost of maintaining a currently unnecessary facility – at a time when the district’s facilities maintenance budget is being cut. Who thought this was a good idea??
