[quote=GarrisonPTA]We have been asking for a full modernization at Garrison for quite some time.  While we knew we were getting our Phase I reno this summer, we were also asking to get money in FY2015 to do the next Phases of modernization, rather than have to wait until 2019 and 2021 to complete the remaining phases.

So, while we are disappointed that classrooms won't be renovated this summer, it is great that we will be getting what we have been asking for in 2015 (barring yet another rescheduling of funds...)  With the way everything has gone for us, I'll just accept this as a win.  With respect to what a previous poster said regarding Gray's and Henderson's attitude towards Garrison, I totally agree...it's been shown over and over that we are simply not a priority to them.  What would be nice if there was a strategy for the school (and hey, EVERY school), that everyone supports.

What I do think is great is that even on this forum, everyone agrees that all this pitting school against school has got to stop. We need a strategic plan for modernization of schools that is finalized and committed to and not changed.  Plus, more realistic budgeting has to occur - that is what really started the mess to begin with...no contingency funds when things don't go as planned.  I hope that all District residents start demanding this.  Even if you don't have a child in our public schools, it does affect you and the city.[/quote]
