That's not going to happen to Stripling. My wife is the architect on the new building/renovation (she did Paschal before this). I have no inside info, but my wife pointed out that Stripling now has several dedicated science rooms, a band hall among other things that are completely inappropriate for an elementary school or pretty much anything besides maybe a very small high school. Even FWISD wouldn't just walk away from all the bond money being spent there. Also, that pla presented last night is pretty dependent on some new money (most likely the form of a new medium sized bond) to add classrooms, etc. to the existing schools taking on students from the closed schools (maybe they can use some of the unspent 2021 bond money?). That's even a harder sell if they are viewed as wasting the existing bond money.
Good intel and I saw that on the stripling construction page, all the speciality additions. $60M price tag expected, about 50% complete per that site.
After seeing what they’ve allowed downtown to turn into along with panther island boondoggle, I’ll never say never with this city. This is not to mention how bad they shit the bed on attracting corp relocations as every other part of dfw exploded with job growth (distribution centers ain’t gonna cut it)
also, the library cd purchase was $600k to be spent from 2017 to 2019.
