[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should not build any actual buildings for schools. They need to start buying and re purposing office building space.  There is enough office space vacancy that is not going to be filled by businesses that could be used.  [/quote]

There are lots of vacant office buldings.  Would buying/leasing one and retrofitting it be more cost-effective than buying the land and building?  If so, then they should get started right away on that.[/quote]

During the SAWG process, it became apparent that the cost of converting office building space to classrooms is prohibitive, unless we found an unusual deal, like a building in foreclosure.[/quote]

It could be done. They would just have to not worry quite as much about converting the spaces.  At a high school level, this would be far easier to accomplish.  An office building wouldn't even need that much converting to accommodate classrooms.  In terms of elementary school, yes, I could see that needing more retrofitting.  [/quote]
