Beerball Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 It'll handle traffic for 3 schools? That's only 21 per, a pittance.
BUFFALOKIE Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 This is a sore subject for me. In my small town of 20,000 residents, at our high school of 3,000 students, in the last 8 years, they have constructed a $20M football stadium, $11M indoor practice facility, a $15M swimming pool, $20M observatory, and substantial upgrades to baseball stadiums, performing arts center, tennis courts, etc, etc, etc. But we have to cut teachers, AGAIN, because of budget shortfalls.
BuffaloBud Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 I can only imagine the traffic on 121 on a Friday.
Saxum Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 I am sure Texas is a lot like Florida where sports are more important than education.

But the kids aren't making "adequate" progress on the state mandated standardized tests. It must be the teachers' fault; therefore they are expendable. These stadiums and indoor practice faculties will soon need to double as classrooms, as the class sizes continue to rise.

That's kind of a specious argument. The two items are not mutually exclusive.

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Didn't read the article... Is it in Texas or Florida
MDH Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Didn't read the article... Is it in Texas or Florida Didn't read it either but there wasn't a doubt in my mind that it had to be Texas.
