Like any decent dog track school, I hope this one comes outfitted with off-track betting, slots, and poker tables. That could raise enough revenue to, at least, pay for the administrators’ 6-figure salaries!
Hot debate. What do you think?

The photo of the dog track as a school is really great. They took the existing building and added pictures of school buses, and some grass out in front. It really shows us tons of information about how a new school would be laid out on that site.
An 8th grader could have done this picture.

unfortunately that 8th grade artwork just cost us taxpayers probably a couple thousand dollars to create.

What the computer drawing does show is that people will still be inflamed that The Dog Track – still looks like The Dog Track even though now painted tan. And “due to the overwhelming response that it still looks like a gambling facility, we should knock it down and build a new building” $$$$$$ Can you here the cash draw ring and our wallets empty some more. New schools are nice when we have a strong economy. We don’t, so lets not do the stupid thing and spend more that we can take in. Didn’t we learn one lesson from the housing bubble?
