~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100822/ap_on_re_us/us_taj_mahal_schools LA unveils $578M school, costliest in the nation By CHRISTINA HOAG, Associated Press Writer Christina Hoag, Associated Press Writer – Sun Aug 22, 2:46 pm ET LOS ANGELES – Next month's opening of the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools will be auspicious for a reason other than its both storied and infamous history as the former Ambassador Hotel, where the Democratic presidential contender was assassinated in 1968. With an eye-popping price tag of $578 million, it will mark the inauguration of the nation's most expensive public school ever. The K-12 complex to house 4,200 students has raised eyebrows across the country as the creme de la creme of "Taj Mahal" schools, $100 million-plus campuses boasting both architectural panache and deluxe amenities. "There's no more of the old, windowless cinderblock schools of the '70s where kids felt, 'Oh, back to jail,'" said Joe Agron, editor-in-chief of American School & University, a school construction journal. "Districts want a showpiece for the community, a really impressive environment for learning." Not everyone is similarly enthusiastic. "New buildings are nice, but when they're run by the same people who've given us a 50 percent dropout rate, they're a big waste of taxpayer money," said Ben Austin, executive director of Parent Revolution who sits on the California Board of Education. "Parents aren't fooled."(Neither are the taxpayers ... ) At RFK, the features include fine art murals and a marble memorial depicting the complex's namesake, a manicured public park, a state-of-the-art swimming pool and preservation of pieces of the original hotel.(And how long does anyone think THOSE things will last ... ?) Partly by circumstance and partly by design, the Los Angeles Unified School District has emerged as the mogul of Taj Mahals. |

No wonder California is bankrupt.The cost of that school is more expensive than most new baseball and football stadiums.

I bet this brings a tear to Boxer and Feinstein's eyes.

100 million shaved off that project could have been used to build a nice new center for the homeless.This high shool is such a waste of money when only 4,200 people can actually use it.
I think next time it would be wiser to give 578 different high schools 1 million a piece so they can upgrade.That would create a lot of jobs also. |

This is why it is so expensive...
Lined pockets! Nuff said! this is LA! And if you are not skimming funds from a project like this you are not doing it right! (Just like a good Democratic or Republican oriented Congressman or senator approving these shows of opulence!) |

(Just like a good Democratic or Republican oriented Congressman or senator approving these shows of opulence!) I've been to LA a few times.I consider it to be the armpit of America.Never seen a city with so much pollution,graffiti,garbage,and ugly people. |

I wonder if the school will contain some of the history of all the affairs that Robert Kennedy had on his wife. Maybe even include the Threesome he had with his brother and Marilyn Monroe.
