I don’t think anyone liked the idea of closing that school and bringing the kids to Bratt. I think they are just trying to get the schools closer together to help with maintenance problems.
Wow! Closing Carver-Century sure saved a lot of money…LOL
perhaps it would have saved lots of $$ to bus the Bratt children to the already recently renovated Carver-Century building since Bratt required such extensive renovation. Looks like the project ran slightly over budget..nearly doubled if I remember correctly.
