[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like it's done. As I understand the neighborhood concerns (and it's not one person, it's all the surrounding neighborhoods plus JFAC and many others), it's that they spent all this money and time and years of planning talking about one thing with a set of fixed assumptions that could not be changed, and then threw all that out the window and now said they are willing to basically tear down everything else on the site, but have never explained or budgeted how it will all work.

By abandoning the existing building, they have to spend money on a second project down the road. I saw on AEM that's apparently going to be for Montessori now? So it ends up being a lot of APS' overall budget being spent one that one parcel of land.

But like I said, it seems like it's done, and too bad for any other project.[/quote]

So that plan came in even higher and they had to scrap it. Remember that? They can’t work around the old CC building and make a really usable HS for as many students as they envision serving within the budget. Montessori is smaller, and I guess they think it will cost less to renovate the CC to become a Pre-K-5 or 8th grade building. Montessori is going to push for a fancy upgrade, but I don’t think they’re going to get it. They need to be happy with whatever they get out of that building. [/quote]
