42 Who determined the fire safety issue at Junior High? What is the fire exit procedure? Who told the architects to figure the price according to gutting the building? The existing building was condemned in 1969 yet it has still has children in it. Why can’t you build new at the existing location? Was other land looked at? You don’t need 60 acres to build a school. Why did the school go ahead and buy the land when it did? Did you know about the hazardous cargo route (FM 3181) when you purchased the land? What will happen to the existing building? Board members support the bond so they can buy the admin offices. What will happen if the transmission lines are sold and we lose their tax revenue? Why does the new school cost so much? Why can’t we just build a metal building? This is what Rick Teran does – comes to a district and builds a new school.
