I realize that school population is declining, and therefore some form of consolidation is necessary. I have an idea, but it requires spending, so I'm sure that it would get shot down immediately. It is my understanding that the land that Gorton & John Greene sit on was deeded to the city for educational purposes and is therefore not sellable; therefore, if the city were to close Gorton, what would become of that parcel of land? Here are my thoughts: temporarily close Gorton. Knock down Gorton & Green. Build a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient city-wide middle school. Close Aldrich...that land is a goldmine. I know that Winman is part of the Toll Gate complex, and that's the city's "little baby" but, oh well...Will this cost money?? Of course it will. In the long run will it save money? I'm not even close to being an expert, but I believe it will, and I believe that we should do the same for the high schools once the middle schools are done. Just sayin'....................
