[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn't they send the Wooton kids to Crown for a few years; tear down Wooton, and rebuild it?  Then once the new building is ready, the kids would return.[/quote]

because they already spent all the money on this boundary study.[/quote]

That makes no sense. Wooton HS is roughly 295,000 Sqft.  Rough estimates to rebuild a HS from scratch are $350-400/sqft.  Wooton is in a nice area so let's use the high side.  That would be $118M.

According to this article, the boundary study was about $1.3M

I'm obviously missing something.[/quote]

Our high schools generally cost $250-300 million now.[/quote]

Ok.  So a HS costs $250-300M to build and the boundary study was $1.3M.  So again, I'll ask---why can't Crown be a holding school while they rebuild Wooton?  The boundary study is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of building a school so it can't be that the money was spent on the study and is no longer available for construction.[/quote]
