RETTIG: Three Options for ASD

Why all the debate about a new high school now or in the future?

The talk is Super School, West Hills, and $155 million. All three of these take a little looking at!

Super School – What is a super school? Does Butler, Freeport, etc. have super schools? I don’t think so. They are just consolidated schools built for the kids to enjoy.

West Hills – The school district owns enough land at West Hills with room to spare… the logical place to build it. Or to satisfy all the people, buy land out Route 422 at central location between Kittanning, Ford City, and Elderton.

$155,000,000 – This price is way out in space. $100-$120 million is probably in the ball park.

Speaking of consolidated schools, we have two in the area – Kittanning and Ford City. If they are not consolidating, why are busses from all around the area dropping kids off at these schools? Put the two together and have one consolidated school.
