If the funds were not re-allocated to other CCPS projects, what incentive will be there to inspire future oversight and under-budget projects? This is the type of stewardship needed at all levels and departments of government. Unfortunately, this county has grown accustomed to so much waste, fraud, and inefficiency; that they don’t know what to do when the process doesn’t yield the same sort of outcome.

Yes – encourage the schools and community to have fundraisers and capitol campaigns; but for God’s sake, let’s not reward a department’s hard work by taking away the fruit of their labor. Kudos to the school system and all those involved with saving this money. And also give thanks to the construction company that was honest about the savings and coming in under budget – we can’t forget about them.
