I think a couple of the harpies want APS to reopen the Madison Center as a school. Retrofitting that would not, in fact, be cheaper. But, hey, it's what they want.[/quote]

The Madison Center is a dead issue - they were only going to get 8 classrooms out of it. The PTA wants the trailers placed in the back of the school, on the county land. I find it funny that these same "harpies" were all up in arms just a couple of years ago about the lack of security at Jamestown and now they want to create a whole new security issue by putting the trailers in a hidden, more isolated area. And as for the people on Delaware Street who don't want to look at these "eyesores", just deal with it. You chose to buy a house across the street from an elementary school, the addition of trailers really can't be sullying your "view" that much more.

The amount of money APS estimates is saved by putting the trailers where there are instead of in the rear - $60,000. Add in how much it would cost to move the trailers again, and I wouldn't call that "marginally more expensive," especially in this time of budget cuts.

My kids have had a great education at Jamestown, but this is embarrassing.  [/quote]
