[Vision2020] Why not Sell West Park Elementary?

[Donovan Arnold]

Why does the new plan include keeping this building. It is not big enough. 
Even if you get rid of the sixth grade it is still not big enough. The MSD 
only owns the land underneath it not the land around it, you cannot expand 
without buying more land.

That land is worth a fortune. many businesses would give their right arm to 
use that building on campus. We do not have to sell it to the University.

If we sold that land and building we could use the funds and money earmarked 
in the levy for a renovation and build a larger new school in a neighborhood 
setting where we already own land. This would also save money because we 
would not have to rent space from the University to house the 
kindergarteners.

Why have an elementary school out of our neighborhoods that is too small 
when you can have a larger more efficient school for the same amount of 
money?

Take Care,
