We need to turn our sights to the next threatened building – the old Gray / Edison school.
The School Board reps spoke at our Neighborhood Council meeting a few nights ago… they echoed the article stating a new roof on the old Gray School would cost $300,000.00 and $10,000.00 per month in maintenance. Really, that’s not bad compared to the cost of the new school they built (which wasn’t big enough… they now are paying for four portable buildings).
Consider also, the school board is planning to replace the all-weather turf at Stadium plus add the stuff to a number of other school playgrounds to the tune of ONE MILLION DOLLARS per school.
They could save a historic building for a fraction of the cost of one all-weather turf playground (grass, dirt, mud, asphalt was good enough for most of us growing up).
We need to save this building.
