    Strange thing in my area, since I was born, I think they’ve built 10 middle schools. I went to a brand new school in 8th grade, I played in the band at that school’s groundbreaking. They haven’t built a high school since 1975. All three of the county high schools have had additions and new wings built on campus, but they haven’t built another high school since what, the Carter administration?

      It’s way easier to get on board with “the little children need a better place that’s not falling apart”. A lot of people think of high schoolers as effectively adults.
