[quote=Anonymous]It apparently takes years of planning/negotiations/bird dogging to get a renovation done at many otherwise successful schools as well as schools where there is a growing community invested in their neighborhood schools' academic success. At the same time, as noted multiple times on this board recently, there are $100 million plus renovations of previously unsuccessful schools that do not appear to have an organized advocacy community. As I see it, a decision was made to invest in infrastructure under recent Mayoral Administrations and that has resulted in much improved infrastructure across the city since say 10 years ago. What are the political drivers that cause some major projects to go through while others languish? Do decision makers have the view that equal dollars (or imbalanced) dollars have to be spent to avoid allegations of favoritism to wealthier areas of the city?[/quote]
