So here we are trying to decide what to do about White Cliff without any foresight as to the problems presented and any future alternatives.

What is going to be done with the White Cliff structure once school use is terminated? Will the building be remodeled for other uses such as business offices or perhaps a new borough and borough school administration building?

Either would allow some current remodeling justification to benefit these future uses and still provide more acceptable available building space for the next school year.

Once again the "cart is before the horse" and we need to sorta look ahead, reflect and make decisions with some foresight as to the future.

Especially since the lack of foresight has spread the Schoenbar students and teachers out into already limited school room space.
