[quote=Anonymous]Can everyone stop complaining about H-B? The board would have built a neighborhood middle school at the Wilson site with 1,000 or 1,300 seats. They would have moved H-B to the Reed site (with an addition there). They would have done lots of things, but H-B is where it is and the size it is because everyone lost their shit about the other options. These included putting a 1,000+ seat school at Wilson, putting a middle school in Westover, putting additions on all of the middle schools, and leaving H-B where it is. Everyone HATED those options more, so this is the one we got.

The Wilson site is urban and it is expensive to build up--way more expensive once you get past a couple of stories, so its hard to go bigger given the space needs of the Stratford program, which needs a lot of square footage per kid because the students have special needs and very high staff ratios. It's not exactly equivalent to other buildings.

I wish people had memories that went back more than six months.
