Mayor Jones Outlines School Building Plan

The Richmond Times Dispatch reported on a plan Mayor Jones presented to the school board that included plans for a new Huguenot High School, which has long been suggested.

Richmond Mayor Dwight C. Jones unveiled an aggressive plan to build four schools in the city by 2014 and start construction on the first in a little over a year.

Jones identified replacing Huguenot High School as a priority during a meeting last night with the Richmond School Board.

Jones’ administration has made $150 million available for school construction during the next five years. In addition to the high school, the city identified two elementary schools and one middle school to be constructed by 2014; construction would start on the first elementary school by December 2010.

This is a subject that pops up regularly without much movement. Stop talking and start doing! I’d also like to her more about bringing the other schools into ADA compliance. I wonder what the status of the schools in our area is?
