[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny how fuzzy memories can be after 5 years. And I'm guessing your family wasn't at ATS at the time. I definitely recall ATS pushing back on growing via an addition. And it's interesting that both of the other two ES additions in that CIP were completed. Oh well, water under the bridge at this point.[/quote]

NP here who was at ATS at the time.  The proposed ATS addition didn't happen because the School Board ran out of money.  It was third in line behind additions to Ashlawn and McKinley.  Those additions both went over budget (shocker) and there wasn't enough left for the ATS construction.  The ATS community was largely on board with the addition.  I'm sure there were some parents who did push back initially at the idea of growing via an addition, and some who were pleased it was never built.  But those parents weren't in the majority.  And those parents certainly didn't find a way to kill the addition.  The School Board managed that all on its own with poor financial/capital planning.  Surely that's not hard to believe?![/quote]
