District approves building plan amid cost concerns and boundary shifts
The board approved a over 6,000 square foot facility at Carmichael and Nelson despite objections over size and cost. The district will pay 352,000 from savings in high school construction, keeping more than 2.6 million under budget. The meeting also finalized school boundary redrawing plans to open a new Horace Good Middle School by 2012, with Garfield Elementary becoming Garfield Early Childhood Center and Abe Hubert Middle renamed Abe Hubert Elementary.
