Parent says
So Westlake STEM gets $500,000 for new furniture but Hunter High has to get approved for calculator carts and Western Hills needs Library books? STEM furniture seems like it should be a low priority since they are already furnished.
Granite Schools says
West Lake is undergoing an extensive turnaround process, which is a priority for capital funding. If you have questions about how capital funds are allocated, please don’t hesitate to call School Support Services directly: 385-646-4597. They will be happy to answer all questions related to these projects.
