Jana Hollingsworth was busy yesterday. She also updated the news on the Rockridge School which the District once hoped to sell for about a million dollars to defray the cost of the Red Plan. Today it looks like instead we will be fixing it for use by the Woodland Hills School at a cost to the district of about $2.5 million.
About all I can do about this is swallow hard. I agree that we have little choice but to proceed although Alanna Oswald has made a case that using the empty Secondary Technical Center Building (next to the empty Central High) might have made more sense if we’d considered it earlier. The Board never had that discussion.
Exercising 20×20 hindsight on the Red Plan I would simply say that the Board of that era never seemed to consider that any of its rosy plans might ever come to grief. That’s the power and the fallibility of rose-tinted glasses.
