KBMT: BISD Approves Demolition Proposal For South Park Middle School KFDM: BISD takes steps toward South Park demolition Despite the fact that the Temporary Restraining Order is still in place and the final Ruling has not yet been handed down by Judge Wortham, BISD, in their dogged determination to rid themselves of South Park, continue to forge ahead to pave their path for demolition. The big question that looms at this point is what are the terms of the bid for demo? What will be the method should the Court rule in their favor? Throughout the pre-bond proposals, they promised over and over again, the school would not be torn down; and even if it were, that "as much existing structure as possible" would be preserved! It will be interesting to learn their true intentions by learning just what they deem "as much as possible." |
