NG articles this morning; covering both sides of the referendum

A nice bevy of things to read in today’s paper:

• Julie Wurth: “Study: Staying put may provide only temporary solution”
  • Options for expansion at and near current Central High School location in Champaign. (Source: Champaign school district)
• Editorial: “A new Central High School and makeover for Centennial?”
  • Wiegand: Voters have future of district in their hands
  • Dodds: Site not economically or environmentally sustainable

 

Julie Wurth’s article goes into quite a depth covering both sides of the story, and references a study of which only a few pictures are included in the 6-page PDF, as well as previous studies. The editorial highlights two distinct viewpoints of the $149 million referedum, closing with “Next Sunday, The News-Gazette editorial board will offer its opinion on the Central/Centennial proposal.” I have not yet had the time to digest what both outstanding ladies have said, but I hope to do so later today. In the meantime, I recommend you read these articles as they are excellent windows into differing perspectives.
