Why do people on these boards talk PAST each other rather than listen?  The PP just refuted your point, and I think she's right: as long as we remain stuck with a completely underfunded maintenance and/or CIP budget, we will continue to have a 30+ year backlog on renovations.  This isn't about SB members or staff who are idiots... It's about not having enough $$ to go around.  Those of you who focus on this project being rushed through or that project being delayed are just barking around the edges of the real problem.

How ironic that the SB last night went through a painful exercise in emergency measures at Haycock while delaying action at the middle school level because... there wasn't an emergency.  I know consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, but if you're going to scream and moan about how schools are IGNORED FOR YEARS, then maybe you ought to also support the SB making forward-thinking moves to deal with capacity problems it KNOWS are coming.[/quote]

I think the issue at the MS level is that there are a substantial number of SB members who really want to scale back the number of AAP-identified students.  It makes little sense to be opening new centers now if there's a reasonable possibility the School Board will conclude that a substantial percentage of current AAP students should really be at their base schools.

It's also possible they'll go through this exercise and it will validate the current model or support its expansion.  But we can't quite tell yet.[/quote]
