Navajo Elementary School Victim of "Limited Budget"

According to an article by Zsombor Peter in the Journal (apparently unlinkable),

the reason that Navajo Elementary School, in the valley,
did not get funding to repair their campus,
while Georgia O'Keefe Elementary School, in the heights,
has plenty of funding to repair theirs, is;

"Construction on the school has been piecemeal because there was only a limited budget when the work began four years ago.", APS Master Capital Master Plan Director Kizito Wijenje.
In the same time period,
APS' "limited budget" allowed millions of dollars worth of upgrades on the Uptown Administrative Complex, including a fancy board room that cost taxpayers over a million dollars,

and whose very existence is yet to be justified
by even a single senior administrator or board member.



Do you suppose that reporter Zsombor Peter is frustrated that Tommy Lang and Kent Walz won't allow him to tell the truth about the squandering of the public trust and treasure at APS' Uptown Administrative Complex?

That, despite promises that the leadership of the APS was finally ready to tell the truth about spending at the UAC,

a candid, forthright, and honest accounting of spending at the UAC has still not been surrendered to public knowledge?
