Today's Poll!JC school board updated on high school plans
Sunday, March 4, 2012
Is there a new public high school in Jefferson City’s future? The seven-member public schools board has made no decision on that question, but spent time at a Friday work session/retreat getting updates on the administration’s work studying it.
After nearly two years of study and public meetings, Superintendent Brian Mitchell in December suggested the board consider two options for the future of the district’s secondary education program — renovating and expanding the existing Jefferson City High School campus and looking “for an alternate purpose for our high school facilities, and to investigate a new location (that) would have an appropriate amount of acreage to develop a brand new facility to serve all of our kids.”

After two years of study? Really? I remember this so called new high school being studied in 1995. Hmmmmmm, now we know why our students are unable to do math. Stop trying to expand the current old building and build a new one. There is plenty of space maybe try the area by the Wal-mart on Supercenter dr.

That's right. The current Jefferson City High School campus would make a better addition to the Lincoln University Campus than the old St. Mary's Hospital ever would.

Put a parking lot across Stadium where the football practice field is and construct a new building on the northeast parking lot or put a building where the football stadium is and enter into a contract with Lincoln University to use their stadium for games and track meets.

Build a new high school on the west side somewhere.
Remodel the old high school as much as possible to serve 800-1000 students maximum in four grades.
Close Simonsen and knock it down.
