I could get onboard with this plan, but you can't do it without consolidating the schools under 25% capacity. The compromise is fewer schools, with more resources in each school. It's an actual win-win for students and taxpayers. I don't see the CTU agreeing to something so reasonable.
The longer I live here, the more I realize both the CTU and CPD are the true impediments to improving quality-of-life.

Schools that are so much under capacity are parasitic for the entire system. Its downright ridiculous that the CTU actively fights to keep them open. The money savings from maintenance, heating, cooling, lighting, etc. these vast, empty buildings could go to increase teacher benefits, salaries and working conditions instead. It's almost like they are fighting against their own interests. Mind boggling.
I am a fan of unionized labor overall, but I do agree with you on the CTU and CPD. Sometimes it appears like they are fighting more just to keep the city down rather than to actually benefit their members. Catanzara can take a long walk off a short pier.
Edit: Corrected to CPD, not CFD.
