[quote=Anonymous]I attended some of the planning meetings about building a new school several years ago (when Discovery was put into motion). The Board explained that the existing 60 year-old building at Madison cannot be used as a school because it is tiny (a 250 student school does not dent the crowding issues) and does not meet current code requirements. So, putting a school there would require tearing down the existing structure and building a new school building. However, there is not enough land around the school to build the needed structure. I don't even know if that land is buildable or is owned by the Parks department. Also, the current building is in heavy use as a senior center and for county classes, so if the county knocked down the building, it would also need need to build/find another location for a senior center. So, it is a lot cheaper for the county to build in another location and just keep Madison as is.[/quote]
