...that's
in this article on approving the funding for South High:
Meanwhile, the site of a new Doherty High remains uncertain.
Mr. Petty said consideration has to be given first to renovating the existing school. If that is not a viable option, then consideration must be given to building a new school on the existing campus.
The problem with Doherty, however, is that it is surrounded by park land.
A final option would be to find a site off-campus within the Doherty quadrant, but Mr. Petty pointed out that if the property is privately owned the city would be responsible for 100 percent of the acquisition costs.
Mr. Augustus acknowledged that the site of the new Doherty High is a “hot topic,” adding that city and school officials would discuss various options during the next week or two
That isn't a discussion that just "city and school officials" should be having; the public should be at that conversation.
