[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given that the story is getting a little press coverage, it will be interesting to see if any reporter digs up what, if any,  role the school board and superintendent played in approving the privately funded lab, and whether there is any precedent for other schools in APS getting that type of private cash infusion to improve their facilities.  What other school community has convinced the board to just hand them a new building without s vote and outside the boundary process?  [/quote]

If you’re worried about inequality, Discovery is the bigger story.

No, it’s really not.[/quote]

Have you ever been in Discovery and ASFS???  Discovery got 6 play structures (and they aren't small, not sure who was stating that nonsense), and two art rooms, as well as a the overall sweeping architecture and slide.  HB is also blowing a TON of cash for LEED and nice design.  The ASFS building is a rundown cinderblock affair, with a 20 year old play structure the size of just one of discovery's half dozen.  Yeah, but a solar system mobile donated by the PTA is the true inequality.[/quote]

Wait. The NEW school is nice? 
In other news: water is wet[/quote]

You obviously don’t get it. Of course a new school is nice. It is new. But these news schools went beyond the basic walls, lunch room and basic amenities and are blowing lots of cash on things they don’t need. I don’t care if the slide cost $50. That money should not have been spent on such a feature. And the new HB school is a case study is inefficient spending. Three times as many kids should get seats for what they are spending. [/quote]
