Ever notice how determined these school boards are to kick off the multi-million $$$ new school building projects? Growing up, a couple of my schools were renovated or simply expanded.
Now they buy swaths of land (spending our tax $ ASAP or take out 30 year bonds) and build 50 acre campuses approaching $20 MM.
Strange how those big bronze plaques at the entrance have similar names to the contractors that built the place.
My town did this very thing. They haven’t even paid off the new middle school they built 10+ years ago and aren’t even taking proper care of it anymore. Then they built an $83 million high school with baseball diamonds, tennis courts, etc even though they could just use the local parks for that. To top it off, my town is not very big at all.. and they’ve hiked up property taxes because of the big waste of money in this huge high school.

Not a big waste to them, they get all the kickbacks from the contracts, they love it.
