Good grief, as if “wow factor” is what our indoctrination system is missing. Once again, not a word in the article about spending discipline, recent cost overruns, or how the countless $millions mentioned line up against an overall budget. Wake up, North Alabama. Technology, physical structures, bloated bureaucratic overhead, and endless red ink are not our education solution.
