University City passes on opportunity to reduce taxes

With a University City School bond about to be paid off, the school board has chosen to completely tear down two school buildings and rebuild them. Instead of passing this savings on to the citizens, the board proposes this new construction and the related capital expense.

The school board states that disrepair of the buildings is the reason for this action. However, the question is, why have these buildings not been properly maintained?

Considering the state of the economy, a tax savings to the citizens would be very helpful.

Last night the City Council voted to support the issue.
