Clearly people do not figure natural disaster risks into their decisions of where to live and where to retire. |
It's really about efficiency. We needed to close one school. |
It's so commonplace. Every company with huge data processing needs is going to look at this. |
Jackson kids are going to benefit because every school will be in good condition if the bond package passes. There won't be the same inequities in the buildings. |
Jackson was not targeted for any other reason than the physical condition, the location of it and being able to put students in other schools. |
Parking (at South Medford) is an issue, especially with the stadium there. |
Thankfully, Hurricane Isabel as a Category 2 storm did not approach the level of damage of Hurricane Floyd, which hit the same general area in 1999. |
That amount would likely bankrupt a fair number of smaller insurance companies operating in the state. |
That is an enormous amount. It indicates there are deep problems that haven't been addressed in the past. |
The reason we have proposed replacing South Medford is that space is limited. We can?t expand there. |
The third option is the better use of money in the long run. |
These are not the recommendations we will make to the school board. These are three options to start a dialogue at the public meetings. |
These structures, no matter how they are constructed, cannot withstand these winds. There are large numbers of mobile homes in the state of Florida and the state has to think seriously about the suitability of these structures going forward. |
This school is literally falling apart. I?m scared to death about an earthquake. |
This sounds like a small percentage, but you're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars that were added in there. |
