<br /> Commissioner Price said she had some concerns about Hillsborough Elementary, and
<br /> asked if the entire building will be deconstructed.
<br /> Sara Pitts said the recommendation in the 2014 assessment was to deconstruct the 100
<br /> building.
<br /> Commissioner Price said it has been 6 years, and asked if there is a more current
<br /> update.
<br /> Sara Pitts said the board has not decided.
<br /> Commissioner Price said this is a historically African American school, and she is
<br /> concerned about its deconstruction.
<br /> Sara Pitts said the hope is to keep the integrity of that building, and deconstruct the 100
<br /> building. She said it is hoped that the historic portions of the campus can be preserved.
<br /> Commissioner Price said this possibility would need more discussion, beyond the school
<br /> board, before moving forward with any plan.
<br /> Steve Halkiotis said it is important to remember the loudest voice for preserving the
<br /> cultural integrity of Central High School was Mariah McPherson, and she lived in that
<br /> neighborhood for many years, and her children continue to do so. He said the neighborhood is
<br /> changing dramatically. He said he recently visited the Lincoln Center, and he has always been
<br /> impressed by the way CHCCS has kept the integrity of the history of Lincoln Center, including
<br /> historic photographs, etc. He said he would like to see a discussion around preserving the
<br /> history and legacy at Central; Ike and Tina Turner played in the gym. He said this is very
<br /> important.
<br /> Commissioner Price said the alumni association should be involved in any discussions.
<br /> Hillary MacKenzie said if there is a desire to preserve this campus, and continue to use
<br /> it as a school, urgent action must to be taken, as the 100 building has a crack in the foundation.
<br /> She said serious conversations should happen sooner, rather than later.
<br /> Brenda Stephens said the Whitted Building was never torn down, and it was a white
<br /> school. She said African American culture and history need to be preserved.
<br /> Commissioner McKee said both of these projections say 2024, and assumes these will
<br /> require bond monies. He asked if there is any type of timeline in place for the completion of this
<br /> work. He said he doubts the County can float a bond anywhere close to this amount, due to the
<br /> debt capacity.
<br /> Patrick Abele said 6 years, because these are large-scale renovations.
<br /> Commissioner McKee said $500 million, for both schools, might take two bonds.
<br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said everyone will know a bit more after the November
<br /> elections.
<br /> Matthew Roberts said he is concerned about schools with multiple buildings and open
<br /> access points. He said he would like to seriously consider new builds, as they could both
