Like a typical politician I wanted to hire consultants to make that decision. I eventually suggested something I called the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snowbizz.com\/Crisis\/ZenithVsCorridor.htm\">Zenith Plan <\/a>which would have kept East and Denfeld. That&#8217;s not what I would recommend today. Even as I recommended closing Central I was already well aware of its advantages over East High. The only significant advantage of East was strictly political. Few people back then could imagine the Eastern population permitting such a decision. I simply yielded to that reality.<\/p>\n<p>Today, with the selection of the Ordean site as the location for a future high school the Community has finally focused on the pros and cons of the actual sites. In the face of a poorly thought out, hugely expensive, swindle Central High is starting to look pretty good.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;d be very happy to close East High and keep Central High School. I suspect the vast majority of voters would agree with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUGGESTION &#8211; YOU MIGHT FIND IT EASIER TO BEGIN THIS SERIES OF POSTS AT THE BEGINNING POST #1.
