Gov. Ernie Fletcher plans to move forward on a study evaluating school buildings.
...Senate President Pro Tem Katie Stine, a Fletcher supporter, said the study is mandated by legislation passed earlier this year. Once the assessment of every district is completed by the state, the Legislature can begin to take on the construction problems and implement recommendations of a task force studying facilities, she said.
Those recommendations include giving schools more flexibility in spending money on major renovations and allowing districts to spend long-term construction money on short-term need
"If you can encourage ongoing maintenance, buildings are less likely to fall into disrepair, and we get more life out of the buildings," Stine said.
Flexibility is good but there is no mention of new money at the end of the plan.
Campbell County needs about $60 million because of new growth; Fort Thomas schools are aging and need drastic updating; Boone County is growing like a weed; At last count, Fayette County was approaching $200 million in needed facilities and repairs.

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn 8 cents for that: I would feel happy if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
Joshua's PALAVROSSAVRVS REX! is a site I've seen a time or two and don't fully understand. This may have something to do with the fact it is published in Portugese. But it is also poetic and metaphysical - and from a different world-view whic is good for Americans to consider from time to time. The graphics are striking.
