My suggestion would be that the now vacant Kennedy Middle School be allowed to keep its name saving the tax payers unnecessary money for new signage and allow the current Kennedy Middle School to revert back to its original name of Wilson Middle School.

Lift the ceiling tiles, it's all over the ductwork. Check out the classroom walls with cracks in them from the damp that's seeped in. Buses idling at the beginning and end of the school day send CO into the classrooms closest to the bus drop off.
