The budget for new LHS is less than $100 million.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-873069415574015652008-04-24T20:17:00.000-07:002008-04-24T20:17:00.000-07:00For purposes of comparison: Pasco School District ...For purposes of comparison: Pasco School District voters (after several tries) approved (2005 or '06) a bond measure for a second high school. Chiawana High will be 325K square feet of space on 80 acres of ground, designed to house 2200 students and will cost $102 million. Before you come to an instant conclusion, consider that the cost of labor is less than in the Puget Sound area. The cost of the new building includes furnishings, computers, gyms and a quality theatre space. Oh, yes, and athletic fields which will belong solely to the school district.<BR/><BR/>The Richland School District also is finishing major remodels of its two high schools. I can't immediately find the figures but it seems to me that they are each in the $35-40 million range (though that might be a low-ball figure).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
