You have read here at Brian’s Blog about the $6.0 million dollar cost overruns at Hardin Valley High School . You have read here at Brian’s Blog about how the County Commission and Mayor have fully funded the past 4 years of Capital Plan Budgets, in addition, they gave $40.0 million dollars for a new high school. You have read here at Brian’s Blog how the County Commission and County Mayor have fully funded this years General Purpose School Budget.
Now, you are reading it here first at Brian’s Blog that the School Board’s proposed Powell Middle School project has cost overruns. How much? $6.0 million dollars. Amazing. Isn’t it?
The Public Building Authority at this evenings School Board workshop informed the School Board that the plans for the Powell Middle School is $6.0 million dollars over budget.
Brian’s Blog doesn’t quite know what to say about this train wreck.
Mr. Hornback,
I’m beginning to think the School Board is being consistently short changed. They go along with it in order to avoid being combative with the County Commission but that facts (costs) on the ground just keep catching up with them.

I am not sure how they could be shortchanged. Since 2002, they have had 4 years of fully funded Capital Plan Budgets plus a $40 million dollar high school, they hadn’t even requested.
This year their General Purpose School Budget was fully funded.
They have actually gotten more than they have asked for, since 2002.
How could they be getting shortchanged?
