QUESTION: There was an unfinished canopy in front of Longview High School for a while that was tagged by the city because it wasn性视界传媒檛 permitted. What was its purpose?
Also, why hasn性视界传媒檛 the old guard building been removed from the parking lot, as it is taking up parking spots?
ANSWER: I性视界传媒檒l start with the old guard shack. District spokesman Matthew Prosser said it is still used periodically by security staff, and there are no plans to move it at this time. He thinks it takes up one parking spot.
As for the unfinished canopy, you性视界传媒檝e probably noticed it性视界传媒檚 gone now. Prosser said it was part of a plan that former high school Principal James Brewer was leading to address some issues with the high school cafeteria.
性视界传媒淭hose plans fell apart with his untimely passing,性视界传媒 Prosser said. The canopy was relocated to the Forest Park campus for the agriculture science program there.
Plans are still in the works, though, to address the high school cafeteria issues through the district性视界传媒檚 Nov. 7 bond proposal.
Wayne Guidry, Longview ISD性视界传媒檚 assistant superintendent of finance, said the cafeteria is the size of a 3A school性视界传媒檚 cafeteria.
性视界传媒淲ith only two lunches, it is impossible for all students to enter the cafeteria. It is also out of date and needs to be modernized in order to entice students to come to the cafeteria,性视界传媒 he said in an email. 性视界传媒Currently, they roam around under the breezeway.We would like to convert (the breezeway) into an additional dining room.性视界传媒
Now, I性视界传媒檝e seen some online discussion about why the bond proposal doesn性视界传媒檛 include funding for swim center improvements.
Guidry has said the district is committed to using its regular funds to pay for renovations there if the bond proposals are approved.
