[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh then how can they close Wootton then? Where is the money for that? [/quote]
Wootton is getting a brand new school [/quote]
If it costs money to close SSIMS, why you think it doesn’t cost money to close Wootton or convert it to holding school? [/quote]

It costs money to close SSIMS because they have to create space for the displaced SSIMS students at Eastern and Sligo Middle School. The CIP proposed spending $134 million on Sligo and $162.5 million on Eastern (an increase of $70 million over the original construction estimate to make space for former SSIMS students). So that's $204 million just to make space at other schools for the former SSIMS kids. It doesn't cost nearly as much money to close Wootton because those students would just move into Crown. They would need to spend some on SSIMS and Wootton to convert them to holding schools, but nothing near that $204 million number.  [/quote]
That sounds like enough money to rebuild SSIMS[/quote]

$204 million is enough to build a new high school.[/quote]
Yeah this budget thing is ridiculous [/quote]
