      <![CDATA[The schools you mention aren't anywhere close to being "bulldozer-ready." In the School Board's Facility Master Plan, at  http://richmond.k12.va.us/pdfs/ExecSummaryMPUpdate_Final.pdf<br><br>- one of these schools is slated for major renovation of portions of the building (p. 14)<br>- one is to be "studied" for possible closure (Appendix A)<br>- one is suggested for replacement or renovation, (p. 19)<br>- and the other six may be closed at some point in the next 6, 8, 10 years or more from now, if funding is made available for continued construction.
