[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems obvious to me that the only way forward is to build a new high school on the VH land, and take back some of the old schools (now community centers) to expand elementary/middle school capacity. How can we make these things happen?[/quote]

First, look into the costs of adapting old school buildings so they're suited to current requirements. Then explain to everyone who uses them currently that schools are much more important than whatever they were doing. If anyone suggests that all members of the community deserve to have programs to meet their needs, stick your fingers in your ears and sing la la la la.[/quote]

With smart planning, couldn't a school be both a community center and a school? Look at TJ.

At any rate, have you ever been in any of these former schools? My kid attended a camp a few summers ago at the former school that's now the Madison Community Center. That place was completely empty except for the camp and a class or two for seniors. For cripes sake, you don't need a whole school to hold a couple knitting classes.[/quote]
