I've got WOIO on and saw a beautiful helicopter shot of Garfield school with a very positive recounting of keeping the original facade, then they pulled back to show the huge new school and talked about the progress that is being made on the field.
Abell glowed over the new building.

As well he should. These new buildings are not only well thought out, but well executed.
Just as the "saved" the Garfield facade, those taking a look at the entrance to Harding will notice that the carved sandstone names that ringed Madison elementary are a part of the front entrance wall.
