On Board looks at high school plans in Milton

Rocky - What classes are meeting in hallways?
What classes are meeting in storage closets?
Northside has 3 "group meeting areas" that could be turned into classrooms for a LOT less than the pricetag for a whole new school.
And by the way, I didn't say I was against building anything - just can't see building an expensive monument when we need a few classrooms. If we build to huge new school we'll be in a world of laid off teachers and cut programs and cut sports if enrollment doesn't continue to grow.

I disagree with Bill Wilson. The question IS "if we build a new high school" not "when we build a new high school". With the departure of GM, it is NOT certain that enrollment will continue to grow. It is NOT certain that taxpayers will support a huge tax increase when property values are declining.

It's a beautiful new building design, and I'd love to see it built. But I'd prefer to wait until Bill Gates moves to Milton and donates the building.
