Well, now it is going to cost $7.2 million to fix those middle schools, which I think should be no surprise based on what all I understand had to be done.

I guess the moral is if you get money from the county, spend it while you've got it. If it ever goes back, it'll never be seen again.

you are probably correct, but the proposed solutions were worse than the already known mess.  I have already sent a reminder to Darlene and will send one to Joe Hill that we were promised that fix prior and should be put back on the list.  I will continue to fight for this area.  If NWMS, Summerfield and Laughlin aren't on the next bond, I will activily campaign against the bond, no matter how bad the county needs it.  NWMS number yesterday 1102 (plus Northern around 160)

ok... i heard they took our money & all, but what were we promised? 

(sorry... trying to keep up....)  It is obvious Guilford County has neglected NW for quite some time for our school buildings are really old... and way too many mobiles!!!  In SC they would call it a hazard... too many in one small area.... I'm really surprised at the lack of proper planning & budgeting by the county for our schools...
