Readers of our web site had the first look at a story about the school district proposing to move Rutland Middle School to a refurbished Quigley (page A19).

HereÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™s a few of their reactions:

Cheryl Chilton:

Sounds like it would be easier to build a new school although IÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™m sure costs for that have gone up too. Always problems and surprises when trying to fix up an old building. Start fresh weÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™ve waited long enough.

Doug Mehus:

Not a bad move. Building new middle and high schools is so expensive. ThatÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™s why I hope theyÎÚÑ»´«Ã½™ll make George Pringle a secondary school again in West Kelowna. Buy up the vacant, derelict IHA land and build a new elementary school to replace it. If West Kelowna needs a new middle school too, then either build an addition to Helen Gorman and transfer Glenrosa Elementary students there and make Glenrosa Elementary a middle school renamed Upper Glenrosa Middle School, or add an addition to Glenrosa Middle.ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½

Chance McCoy:

Right idea. Wrong spot. Gotta have it in upper Rutland closer to the current building.
