Readers of our web site had the first look at a story about the school district proposing to move Rutland Middle School to a refurbished Quigley (page A19).

Here鈥檚 a few of their reactions:

Cheryl Chilton:

Sounds like it would be easier to build a new school although I鈥檓 sure costs for that have gone up too. Always problems and surprises when trying to fix up an old building. Start fresh we鈥檝e waited long enough.

Doug Mehus:

Not a bad move. Building new middle and high schools is so expensive. That鈥檚 why I hope they鈥檒l make George Pringle a secondary school again in West 琉璃神社. Buy up the vacant, derelict IHA land and build a new elementary school to replace it. If West 琉璃神社 needs a new middle school too, then either build an addition to Helen Gorman and transfer Glenrosa Elementary students there and make Glenrosa Elementary a middle school renamed Upper Glenrosa Middle School, or add an addition to Glenrosa Middle.鈥�

Chance McCoy:

Right idea. Wrong spot. Gotta have it in upper Rutland closer to the current building.
