Although I have only been here a short time, I am very excited to be at this point. This was a huge undertaking and it is a huge relief to be at this dedication ceremony for our new building. |
By the beginning of the fall semester, everyone will be in their respective campus and our plan will be complete. |
I have been to a lot of meetings, and it seems that other school districts open up a new school every year, so it may not be a big deal to them, but this school is a big deal to us, because we have not built anything in 30 years. |
The building was evacuated and the plumbers did not find any leaks. We do not know what caused the smell, it could have been a dead animal in the attic. It was not a natural gas leak, so we did not feel we needed to call the volunteer fire department. |
The differences between the new campus and the old one are incredible. At the new one, the lights and air conditioner are controlled by a computer and we have a fire back up system that can immediately control a fire if there was one. |
We're helping the city draw more residents, trying to attract people. |
