Elementary School #24 Now Apartments
Old schools. Consolidating schools.
In 1926, the city opened a new elementary school at 10th and Market streets, called Corrine Scott Elementary for a beloved teacher at Kirby Smith Junior High School.
A few other schools were closed and consolidated at the time.
Fast forward 63 years to 1989. Corrine Scott was rundown, paint peeling from the hallways. PTA President Ed Griggs, frustrated at the school district’s inaction, contacted the Times-Union.
Griggs had a daughter in fifth-grade, so she would not benefit from improvements to the school, but he felt a responsibility to do something.
He brought to mind a quote from Robert Kennedy: “Each time a person stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others … he sends forth a ripple of hope.”
Hope turned to action.
“The news media came out and the next day, before I knew it, here were the workmen,” Griggs told the Times-Union. “I said to myself, ‘Hey, it works.’”
The news story by Times-Union reporter Michael Anderson described longtime safety inspection records over a decade. Termites were so bad, they infested the classrooms, the principal reported.
“They annoy students and teachers by flying around, getting into books, anything made of wood, and there was a case where a termite flew into a teacher’s mouth while she was talking.”
How bad was it? School officials couldn’t say because they didn’t keep track of maintenance records.
Thanks to a bond issue approved by the voters in 1987, there was $9.3 million available for repairs.
Now let’s put this perspective. This was only about 20 years after a federal court order forced Duval County to integrate its schools.
Reading between the lines, there was no way a school would be allowed to get into this condition if it were located in a wealthier neighborhood.
So the School Board decided to close Corrine Scott and build a new school in the neighborhood, a large elementary school that could hold about 1,000 students, the kind typically found in Mandarin. In 1999, after sitting idle for nearly a decade, Corrine Scott was sold and turned into apartments.
In 1991 Andrew Robinson Elementary School was opened, named for the beloved former principal of Raines High School. There was great enthusiasm about this new school, even if it was located across Main Street from Corrine Scott Elementary.
So three elementary schools were closed: Corrine Scott, Beulah Beal and Mattie Rutherford.
At the same time, court-ordered busing was ending, replaced by magnet programs designed to attract a diverse group of students.
Andrew Robinson was a shining beacon of hope. Located not far from the city’s public hospital, now UF Health Jacksonville, it included a University of Florida pediatric health center in 1996, funded with a grant from the Jessie Ball duPont Fund. It wasn’t doing enough business to break even. It's no longer there.
Andrew Robinson is at about 75 percent capacity, suffering from some of the same issues as the rest of the district, said Superintendent Diana Greene during a visit with the Editorial Board.
Since the school opened almost 28 years ago, it’s a far different world for public education, she said. There is much more competition given all the choices. Charter schools are booming.
And parents often are moving so that it’s difficult even for a good elementary school to keep students for five years.
At 28 years old, Andrew Robinson is one of the newest schools in Northwest Jacksonville. Think about that.
Now the district faces similar issues but on a broader scale. The School Board will be considering a consultant’s report that proposed consolidating about 42 schools into 17 schools. About 30 new schools would be built.
Costly maintenance would be reduced with new, upgraded and smaller buildings.
Superintendent Diana Greene has listened and has scrapped the idea of locating a grade six through 12 school at both Raines and Ribault. An evaluation of future enrollment predicts over 2,000 students at those sites; too many, she said.
But let’s hope she also was listening to the concerns of the neighbors in those areas who opposed the consolidations.
Proposed is a referendum on a half-cent sales tax to fund the nearly $2 billion in school improvements.
Greene said she will be giving the board three options: a best-case scenario and two less costly options.
City Council, which has the power to approve a special election in November, seems unlikely to do so, in part for cost reasons and a likely low turnout.
More important, in our view, is that the public has not had enough time to be informed. Doing this in a rush is likely to give people an excuse to vote no.
It’s clear that many of the older schools need to be consolidated and replaced. Just like Corrine Scott and Andrew Robinson years ago.
I am not a Global Warming Alarmist (although I am thoroughly convinced that man's actions and inactions have compromised the environment and that animals and plants are having to adjust and/or evolve). But yesterday, when we went to the beach, I noticed a few things that seemed to be unusual. First, after having been there for three hours, we had only seen two seagulls. Secondly, species of birds we never see on the beach were there and interacting with people. Thirdly, there were species of fish I had never seen in shallow water coming on shore and beaching themselves. And most notably, fourthly, there were literally dozens of horseshoe crabs, which the lifeguard said never come up more than one or two at a time, which had come onto the beach and camped along the shore. After sunning himself awhile, this one is on his way back home.

aisa Resist the Insidious Gameplan of Communal Fascist BJP.
in Muzaffarnagar!.
10.9.13.
Expose the UP and Central Govt for their Visible Inaction.
to Stop this Communal Frenzy and Polarisation!.
.
For the past few days, we are seeing yet another horrific saga of orchestrated communal violence - this time in.
Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh. Even as the state government claims that `curfew' has been imposed, frenzied and.
organised mobs are ambushing, assaulting and killing Muslims being the prime target. In the midst ofwidespread arson.
and rioting, petrol bombs are being thrown into houses; mobs armed with bombs, guns and knives are attacking.
villagers; mosques and houses are being torched..
.
The Muzaffarnagar violence is a chilling reminder of how so-called communal `riots' are engineered by.
communal fascist forces for their narrow interests. The chain of events leading to the current spree of violence.
clearly indicts these forces:An argument breaks out between two young men, and a Muslim youth was knifed to death..
Afterwards, two men who were allegedly involved in his murder were killed. These incidents were then cynically used.
by the likes of the BJP and the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU). In a clear move to shamefully milk theissue for their own.
electoral gains, a FAKE video was prepared and widely circulated by well-known local BJP leaders. This fake video,.
which shows two youth being lynched by a large mob, became the tool through which a widespread communal.
mobilisation was orchestrated, leading to the present violence..
.
Moreover, even as it was abundantly clear that the BJP, aided and abetted by the local Sanghi network,.
was openly indulging in a campaign of propagating hate and violence, the local administration allowed a Jat.
Mahapanchayat to take place. At this mahapanchayat, which blatantly and openly defied `prohibitory' orders,.
speech after inflammatory speech was delivered by BJP MLAs such as Hukum Singh, Suresh Rana and Sangeet Singh.
Som and BKU leaders Naresh Tikait and Rakesh Tikait.These leaders openly incited the audience at the mahapanchayat,.
and in fact it was only after this that the violence in Muzaffarnagar broke out..
.
As the 2014 elections draw near, Muzaffarnagar shows us that the BJP has planned to literally walk over.
corpses in its bid for power. The Muzaffarnagar violence indicates what Narendra Modi,Amit Shah, the BJP and the.
Sangh have in store for us. Modi's trusted lieutenantAmit Shah has been put in charge of BJP's electoral campaign in.
Uttar Pradesh.Adesperate BJP, having declared the mastermind of the 2002 Gujarat genocide as its Prime Ministerial.
candidate, is hell-bent on somehow winning the 2014 elections through hook or crook..
.
In the past too, Advani's rath yatra left in its wake a nationwide spree of violence, death, and a communally.
vitiated atmosphere. This time around, with the RSS clearly giving the BJP instructions to once more try the aggressive.
Hindutva agenda, the Sangh Parivar seems all set to put in place similar divisive, communal, hate-filled campaigns..
And for such forces, if a few thousand lives are sacrificed in this process, so be it..
.
In this whole incident, the role of the Uttar Pradesh government has also been condemnable. To begin with,.
the attempts at communal polarisation in UP are no secret: anyone familiar with UP knows that for quite some time.
now, the BJPand various branches of the Sangh Parivar have been aggressively indulging in communal hate campaigns.
in the state. They have clearly launched a well-planned and orchestrated campaign to spread hate, violence and.
communal tensions. The Muzaffarnagar incident is therefore no aberration; it is in fact the logical culmination of the.
Sangh-sponsored ongoing process of communal divide in UP.AndYET, theAkhilesh Yadav government did nothing to.
prevent the spread of communal tensions. In fact, a Jat Mahapanchayat was allowed, defying prohibitory orders, when.
it was clear that this occasion would be used to stoke communal tensions. Even now, only FIRs have been lodged, but.
NONE of the BJP and BKU leaders who shared the fake video have been arrested..
.
It is extremely important that the progressive and secular forces expose and reject these vicious attempts to.
spread communal violence. We cannot allow the communal fascist forces to run the campaign for the 2014.
elections over dead bodies. Give a powerful mandate in the ongoing JNUSU elections against the proponents.
of communal violence and the forces in govt who are facilitating communal polarisation for cynical gains!.

An inaction clean/unclean shot of the deck. We're pressure washing it and resealing it since it was dirty and moss-y.
Keep up the great work. Baby steps in a positive direction are better than inaction and… t.co/YtcLl6EIuJ (via Twitter twitter.com/SohNaturalAZ/status/867814406247374849)
