New School for Huguenot High?
The RTD is reporting that on Thursday the school board will be voting on Thursday on setting construction priorities including replacing Huguenot at the cost of over $81 million. Originally Huguenot was in Phase II of the construction plan but Mayor Jones submitted an altered plan that moves Huguenot High construction into Phase I.
Because of the aggressive timeline set forth by Jones, the School Board may make its decision with little input from the public.
“I think any major alterations to what was voted and decided needs to go back to the public, because it’s a substantial amount of money we are talking about,“ said School Board Vice Chairwoman Kimberly B. Gray. “If it’s some minor tweaking, then I think we’re OK, but if it’s a major shift in the priorities, then public involvement is critical.“
