Bolt some double stacks up against the wall in the huge front atrium area; as an example...

It is a surprise given how much money the district collects from the taxpayers.... and given that we just spent (and are still spending) how much for a new high school? No one ever heard of www.buyusedlockers.com ? Another simple solution that was mentioned since Feb 2008: Send more kids to MV like Steck and/or McCarty area and then no one needs to share a locker at WVHS. spend money or save money? which one is it? for the money we spent expediting an unneeded school- we could have installed a locker for each resident of 204. |

Just for the record, Scullen students did share lockers in the past, not every student had to be asked to share lockers, it was eighth graders only, then they brought additional lockers from Wheatland school when it closed , no more shared lockers.

What was the population of the student body of WV in the year prior to the opening of NV? More or less than it is going to be this year? And did the kids share lockers then? I am looking for the exact number in 95-96 - it was between 3500 and 3600 ( all in the green building - imagine that considering we are being told it can no longer hold 3000 - shrinkage I guess ) ) - which holds up because in 96-97 it was 2865 @ WVHS and 956 in NV. I will ask my oldest daughter about locker sharing but I do not rememberit. ( and no split shifts either  ) |

For what it's worth.... NVHS sophmores shared lockers last year. They got to choose their partner. Not sure if any other classes shared or if they will share this year.
Regarding McBride, I haven't been impressed. I haven't seen any issues he's tackled so far that had anything to do with academics. Yes, the dance situation needed to be remedied, but he got overinvolved in that IMO.

I have some questions...
What are direct construction costs vs soft costs??
Are soft costs the site improvements? the expedite fees? the land? fees? permits?Is the first line labeled direct construction costs because it excludes anything that doesn't go in to the building and ignores expedite/site/site improvement/professional fees/permits etc?
Would the construction contingencies reflect expedite charges?
What are exposure holds?
