[Vision2020] school facilities discussion

[Matt Decker]

Food for thought,

I know that it isn't free and would cost a lot of money, but what the hay. 
How about buying the empty space next to MBS and building a school? With the 
additions on the northern part of town, we could really use an elementary 
school up there.
