[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The willingness of some who welcome a new HS at KAA to make misleading comments about the cost of a simple addition is troubling. Are they intentionally trying to inflate the cost to support the claim the KAA purchase is a bargain or are they just dense? At this point it's hard to tell.[/quote]

Reminder:  West Springfield construction was begun--and finished- several years ago.  The last CIP said $93 million.  Someone stated it was under budget, but I cannot find a number.
The CIP for Centreville expansion is almost $300 million.

Those are real numbers.  Again, the foes of the new high school keep saying that it is too much money.  Sorry, but I find that $150 million for the academy and two additional buildings where a school is needed is a bargain.  And, it comes with furnishings.
I'm really sorry that you are so jealous of kids having the possibility of a school in their community instead of being sent over hill and dale to go to school upsets you so much.  
Just think of the savings on bus transportation!  Over the years, that adds up, too.
There has not been a viable option presented that allows these students to attend a school that is a reasonable distance and allows some stability.  The current redistricting with THRU is further tearing up the neighborhoods.

DP. Who’s jealous? My kid’s going to that humanities magnet. I’m pumped![/quote]

Is that why Reid said the KAA purchase won't have any impact on the ongoing boundary study?  Because they'll use it as a magnet that won't impact any boundaries because it's open to all students in the county?  [/quote]

Doubtful.  She just wants to continue the fiasco that is the boundary study.  It's hard to admit you made a mistake.  You'd think this KAA facility would be a great excuse to stop it, but, I guess they have too much invested in it.  Wonder how much in overruns THRU has had over the $500k?  And, I also if anyone has added up staff hours spent on this... it is not insubstantial.[/quote]
