False Economy Behind Faulty Atlanta School Buildings
A city conference between Atlanta's board of education and the bond commission exposed that several new school structures were built for far less than proper cost. Architects and contractors showed that $100,000 projects were created for about $49,000, omitting furring and cornices, causing leaks from rain penetration. Some officials, including James L. Key, resisted the findings, but the group agreed major repairs were needed to make buildings waterproof. The missteps trace to cost-cutting and state constitutional limits on city spending, with blame assigned to citizens and Georgia's constitution, while a few members maintained serious defects exist at multiple schools. The report cited specific leaks at HII street and other buildings, with plans to overhaul to restore weatherproofing.
