At a time of economic crisis it is highly irresponsible to spend millions on renovations that are unnecessary to the schools purpose. It’s nice to have a school that looks good but when the school starts to lose its functionality there is a problem. As schools all over Illinois are taking mass economic hits and being forced to lay off teachers and staff our money should be used for education and education only. What really gets to me is we are the ones that pay for this. I pay taxes I think I should have a say in how my money is spent. A schools looks aren’t important. School could be held in a shack if need be. Without quality teachers and staff we have only a multimillion dollar aesthetic school. RBHS needs to get back to being a school. The higher-ups are becoming so concerned with how our school looks and where we stand in the ratings and not with what really matters. They need to change or be changed. I completely agree with you.
