RE: Another Solution

Modular buildings are expensive, and tend to sit there for years
to come. I have worked in several locations where modular manufactured
homes were installed as a stop-gap measure, and then left to
exist as the energy-wasting, tinny, ugly school building for
decades to come. It would be cheaper and more beneficial, I
suspect, to put the money into completely renovating the old
White Cliff school, which was built of solid materials made to
last.
No doubt a good solution does exist, and I honor the school administration
for actively seeking citizen input.

 Listen to this KRBD story... The Ketchikan School Board Wednesday night
received six alternatives for housing White Cliff Elementary
School's 270 students next year. As Deanna Garrison reports,
the School Board also heard more discouraging news about the
probability of the District remaining in the White Cliff building
during the 2004-2004 school year.
