Adrift...good word for it. I hope this outside evaluation takes into account the city budget side and the money not only that it will cost but what feasibly will actually be given. I hope that city councilors who were so outspoken against consolidation and applauded this plan are sure that whatever is recommended is actually funded!

It just isn't realistic to think that this outside expert will be able to look at the numbers and the abysmal state of our old school buildings and pull some magic plan that will provide the education and resources our students deserve in buildings that meet safety codes never mind the excellence in lab and tech facilities they deserve within the monetary framework that is the reality for our district out of thin air which keeps these schools all open.

I suppose the only silver lining is that perhaps this analysis and resulting recommendations will show clearly and without bias exactly how much money it will take for those who want it all to have it. I do not believe that money will be there, but maybe we will have a positive of the public putting the sort of pressure put against consolidation on the city to provide the money necessary to at least be doing the minimum of facility upkeep and upgrades required for our districts schools....always a silver lining...too bad this one is going to have such a high dollar sign attached to it in lost savings.
