<div>That may be so, but the shell game still continues. We are having
a hard enough time filling and paying for the 1912 building. Who is
going to pay for the old school renovation into county offices?
Building a new high school costs more than the cost of the new
school's construction. There are the costs associated with building
infrastructure associated with the new school, as mentioned in earlier
posts, in addition to the renovation costs to the existing school. All
of these costs will be passed to the Latah County tax payer. I feel
that maintaining and building upon the existing sites is a more
prudent financial approach to providing educational facilities than
expanding into farmland.</div>

<blockquote><b>Subject:</b> [Vision2020] New High School</blockquote>
<blockquote><br></blockquote>
<blockquote>Now that the facilities committee has recommended that the
upcoming school bond issue cover the construction of a new high
school, what is to become of the old high school? It seems to me that
if the current high school is inadequate due to need of repair, then
it will require renovation irregardless, unless it is to be
demolished. I wonder where the renovation money will come from? I was
hoping that we could renovate the old high school and thereby get more
bang for our money...a renovated building<u> and</u> a well
functioning school. To accommodate a revised configuration (4 year vs
3 year high school), I had hoped that a conversion of the high school
to a junior high and the junior high to a high school would get some
traction, but apparently that hasn't happened. I'd like to hear others
comment on this subject.</blockquote>
