Re: New High School
Dear Vision2020:
A question that always comes back to my mind is: Why not move the 9-12
grades high school to an expanded facility at the junior high location,
and create two 7-9 grades junior highs, one of which would be at the
present high school?
This would make use of the existing high school, which is not very old,
and which, contrary to some suggestions, is not useful to government or
private use in its existing form.
While I am writing about school district facilities issues, allow me to
vent my vehement objections to conversion of the Russell Elementary
School to some other use. Keep it an elementary school! It is convenient
to Fort Russell families; it is a beautiful building with extraordinary
windows allowing plenty of natural light. I fear that the school
district may treat the Russell school building as it did the 1912 high
school: deferring maintenance until the building is too far gone to
keep.
