Stronghurst Sale Falls Through

There is a headline story in the metro section of the Journal to which I cannot find a link; it is entitled;
Sale of Former School Falls Through.

The story re-illuminates two issues.

One is; why do charter schools have to scrounge around for expensive school sites, while the district has so many school sites sitting empty?

The other is; now, how are we going to pay for the extravagance at the Uptown Administrative Complex?

When questions were being raised about how the district could afford to pay a million dollars for an unnecessary renovated board room at the Uptown location; APS spokesperson Rigo Chavez assured taxpayers that it wasn't going to cost them anything because the cost would be covered by the sale of Stronghurst.

Despite the crushing illogic and blatant deceit in asserting that the sale of publicly owned property to pay for another publicly own bill, doesn't "cost" taxpayers; it is clear that the boardroom will cost taxpayers, a lot.

How much it will cost taxpayers is still a secret.

The leadership of the APS continues to refuse to surrender an honest accounting of the money they have spent at Uptown, instead of maintaining schools.
