It's things like this, I think, that make voters a little skittish when we're presented with a request for a huge bond to build new schools.  

Shouldn't we at least have dealt with the buildings that were abandoned because of falling enrollment before we're asked to start shelling out the big bucks for new schools which we're told are necessary because of rising enrollment?  

It makes the district's capital decision-making process seem a bit frivolous as best.
