UPDATED: MCPS considers 4 sites for new Cold Springs school
missoula school watchdog blog is calling foul on this ill-thought out idea by illogical school officials.
The idea that this school district will close Cold Springs and build a new school with the same name is absolutely criminal!
As a long-time observer of MCPS business and a victim of the 2004 school closures, it is my opinion that this corrupt idea of closing Cold Springs and building a new school in the Miller Creek area is the brainstorm of a long-time unpopular MCPS Trustee, Drake Lemm and other cronies such as Rosemary Harrison. At a September 2005(!) Finance and Operations Facility Meeting - with the ink barely dry on the Roosevelt School sale to St. Josephs School papers - Lemm brought up the closing of Cold Springs and the building of a new school close to his properties. (Note: Lemm built a subdivision in the Miller Creek area.)
