Forget the shovel; bring a backhoe!
I want one of those awesome shovels!!!!
After years of wondering if my children ( 9 & 4 yrs. old) would ever see the halls of a new high school? It looks like this just might become reality? (notice the ?) Please don’t let us down now!
Keep the faith, FLY. After watching this odyssey for the last six years or so, I am encouraged that the T’s are crossed and the I’s are dotted. Granted, it was a sad and parasitic journey, but we are finally at a milestone. I can’t wait to fling some dirt!
This is truly an announcement long in coming, but welcome nonetheless. A lot of ink has been spilled over the past decade, condemning this person or that decision. Here’s hoping that, as the dirt is turned, that old pettiness and rancor can be buried in the process. Our children, our students, deserve the best we can give them, and we have a prime opportunity to get it right this time.
Thank you, Dr. Murphy and members of the School Board and CCPS administration, for getting us to this point.
They could sell these shovels along with other items of interest to help pay for the school or other needed supplies.
This date will inevitably be pushed back. They’ll disagree on where to exactly use those shovels to start ‘digging’.
