This is an update and revisit of the post "City Schools: a Gradual Building Replacement Plan" I have gathered more data and have come up with a more aggressive plan that not only includes Elementary/Middle Schools but High Schools and Smaller Learning Communities. In the spirit of my previous post it will focus on shedding class room space, building new schools, and proper utilization of classroom space. I will use the district precincts as models but a few schools might not be in their precincts. *means school is slated for closure already. If a school isn't mentioned on this post, it doesn't need to be changed.

Well there you have it. The school system has shed thousands of unfilled seats and built new schools at the same time while preserving schools that are attractive and historically significant and for the most part there is little to no land acquisition for new schools and demolished schools can be sold off for development.
