I didn't realize that Wheatley Elem. is closed. In any case, the planning for the school system is suspect. However, I would rather kids go to school in mostly historic buildings like Wheatley (appropriately rehabbed) than the 1950s/1960s junky buildings like Webb School on Mt. Olivet Road. That site is better utilized for redevelopment purposes anyway.
Webb was in use just a few years back, so it isn't as if it's 50 years out of date. I've been inside Webb, but I don't know what it inside Wheatley. I'm guessing that you would find asbestos, and all kinds of nasty stuff. Wheatley is a beautiful building from the outside.

Which will be cheaper to rehab and bring up to modern specifications?
