Renovating Central High Faces $2.55 Million Price Tag
The Ba Crosse Tribune notes Chicago architectural firm estimates place renovating old Central High School as a junior high at about 2.55 million dollars plus land costs.

The piece argues the project may rival a new building in cost and urges board decisions on location and education trends for the coming decades.
