How Many Designs Does It Take in CCSD?

The denizens of 75 Calhoun have never seen a traffic jam they didn't like--or so it would seem from the new, new design for a three-school campus in Mt. Pleasant. [See 3-school Campus in Thursday's P&C.] But at what long-term cost do citizens get this short-term savings?

We're talking about more busing and more traffic; more students taken out of their home communities; and more take-a-number enormous elementary schools. It's not good education.

And, let's get this straight: the CCSD School Board "initially approved and paid for a two-school campus design for Jennie Moore Elementary and Laing Middle" but now it's going to pay for another three-school design? Can we get a discount?

Oh, well, it's OPM (other people's money). Who cares?
