School tear down update
(Demolition at Cleveland Elementary School in 2005)
The Roosevelt High School demolition had been scheduled to begin Tuesday, but it has now been put off to May 1. I did not get an explanation for the delay.
Meanwhile, in today’s paper I wrote about a compromise plan to save part of Wilbur Wright Middle School that seems to have gained some traction both within the district and with the neighborhood and alumni groups trying to save the school.
Julienne High School supporters also have seen Lacey’s approach, which involves keeping some exterior walls and other elements of the original schools and building new structures behind them, and are at least open to discussing using it at Julienne.
But whatever is going to happen needs to happen fast. School board President Yvonne Isaacs made it clear she does not want this debate to roll on much past May 1. Stay tuned.
