Our opinion: Transient plans
Once upon a time the Warren County School District’s board of directors was intent on drafting a long-range plan for the district, a plan that would be a blueprint for facilities that would carry it decades into the future. A year after the school board put the plan on hold and nearly two years since the project was launched with a $67,000 contract to a consultant, we learned last month there is a chance there could be a plan by May. But, why hurry? Afterall, with the headlong charge to build a new $24-million high school and the resolution to maintain four high schools in the district for the foreseeable future, the keystone of a master facilities plan seems to be already laid in place and secured with mortar and steel. After much public and political angst last fall, the die was cast to maintain four high schools, thus assuring that something new would need to be built to replace the current Eisenhower High School.
