Bratt is the best school and has been a A school for many years vs. the others which have not. Now it was mentioned several blogs up and a second notation it took Carver 3 million to run, portables 1 million that is two million in taxes we dont have to worry about coming from our hard working checks what is so difficult...

That is why they shut it down. No agenda, they could service the students at Bratt and Ernest Ward for a fraction of Carvers yearly budget. Carver cost 3 million a year to run (operations).

They could've taken only a fraction of that, just say even only $100,000 to hire a few remedial, resource or reading teachers to help bring Carver's grade up, ultimately keeping it open. I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Yet, when those in higher positions have their personal agendas set and want to waste money in the areas that they have preference for, they find the money to do so, yet when Carver school was shutting down, they had no other option, no money, no way to help, no"nothing"..according to them (the pitiful officials, that is) 1 million for modular buildings at Bratt and Ernest Ward.

The building cost less than $100.00 per foot, that means they are cheaper than conventional construction.

This would cost less than new land purchase, possibly the new sports fields cost would wash from the saving of existing land use. For those people that are complaining of the cost of the new portable rooms its looks like they still don't know how far a dollar goes.
