Colorado school officials say they are"exploring the concept" of demolishing Columbine High School, the site of one of the nation's most notorious school shootings, and building anew.
In the letter, Glass posits,"In 1999, no guidance existed on what to do with a building such as Columbine High School. Today school safety experts recommend tearing down buildings where school shootings take place. Since the morbid fascination with Columbine has been increasing over the years, rather than dissipating, we believe it is time for our community to consider this option for the existing Columbine building.
"Most of them are there to satisfy curiosity or a macabre, but harmless, interest in the school," he added."For a small group of others, there is a potential intent to do harm." A $15 million renovation and expansion of the current school was approved by voters last year. But the Jeffco Public Schools Board of Education and administration are exploring the possibility of asking voters for an addition $60 to $70 million to build a new building, according to the superintendent.
