I find it amazing that the Orange County school board would choose to spend $14 million dollars on a new flood-prone building instead of spending half that amount to purchase and renovate the Waugh building.
Way to put politics first and pass the cost on to the taxpayers!
Hillary, this is another fantastic edition of Byrd Street. I have concerns about the two dissenting voters on the school board. They impress me as the type of people who would name the new learning center after themselves.
Actually I have advocated a total new high school for Orange County, after following my daughter’s tennis team to other towns (Crozet, Palmyra, Mineral, Monticello, Powhatan). Also when other teams came to Orange to play, they laughed at our facilities. Each time I went to a parent/teachers conference, the interior of our high school was depressing. It seems that building has not changed since it was constructed 70 years ago.
I think Mr. Millburn’s comments about the Rapidan dam, coincide with my own opinion.
It was terrific to visit with you at Cary’s party. You are the consummate professional. Thanks, Jack
