[Vision2020] Was it really a bid for a remodel? Or a tear down and build brand new?

Jack Porter: I'm aware that the committee members have heard from me
frequently. I want to say something new to you. If you take the time to look
at the costs estimates, don't understand why the estimated costs to renovate
the MHS were so high. And I still don't understand all of it. One likely
component – remodeling the auditorium. I think the auditorium is pretty nice
 and bigger than the planned one. What thought process led to the inclusion
of that. 1+M for walls/partition replacement. Making some classrooms bigger?
That’s a lot of money. More cost effective to hire more teachers with
smaller class sizes? $3.6M for gym/locker rooms. The proposal was to build
new gym/lockers in the new annex. I understand that they are in bad shape;
but the gym is a pretty nice gym. Let’s not try to hold to hold competitive
athletic events in the HS. There’s not state req for PE in 11-12. We should
be able to do lifestyle classes in the existing gym without spending that
kind of money. 
Architect: I take any question that you might have and give you the backup info you need for why we did it that way. It was a comparative analysis – directive by the FPC. What are we going to do at the existing HS is the equivalent at a new school. So equivalency to a new HS – as if a brand new auditorium. So all aspects were developed under that notion. If the FPC or Trustees want us to downgrade, we can do that.
