<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not convinced that the cost of a new building
is more than fixing up an old one. The electricity needed is so much different
than it was when the old building (any one) was built that the entire process
needs to be done over. The cost of removing dangerous products is outragious. I
agree about the 1912 building and also believe that we should have torn it down
and make it a parking lot which downtown need far more than another big
expensive building. </FONT></DIV>

<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>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>
