It is a bargain and it is needed.  When a renovation/expansion at a high school costs $300 million, it is hard to deny it is a bargain:  land, school building, 2 additional buildings, and furnishings.

I also look to hear the answers.  But, from what they said when voting on the purchase, it would appear it is to help the communities that have been needing this school for a very long time.

I would hope that when they close, that they will quickly announce the plans and the community engagement.[/quote]

They are also on record as saying that it might be a magnet school, right? How do you reconcile that statement with your hope that it’s a neighborhood school?[/quote]

And, sheeeeeeeeee's back!  I think one SB member vaguely mentioned something about a magnet, but that's certainly not an entire SB endorsing that idea when everyone knows the area needs a "normal" high school that serves everyone.  The magnet isn't happening.

To be clear, I’m not even lobbying for it to be a magnet, but it’s pathetic that you foam at the mouth whenever someone highlights that a school board member, Mateo Dunne said this on the record. Advocate against it, but don’t lie to people, you lose a ton of credibility that way.[/quote]

As I said, ONE SB member made this comment.  Next...[/quote]
