The asbestos alone should be enough to shutter the school. Build a new one instead of trying to over crowd Ridgeview's classrooms.

I do not support the consolidation of high schools in Redmond, and closing of RHS until work can be done to make it to the NEW District Office

Sussie Due

We need more schools and less bar&grills and breweries. Closing that school will only create hardships in the other schools.

Darlene Martin

Backed by voters through a $110 million bond package passed in 2008 to build new schools, principally to alleviate overcrowding at RHS. Ridgeview was built in 2012 to accommodate 1,400 students. There is currently nearly 1,700 students between the two schools. So bring back the overcrowding?

You don't want to spend the money to repair the leaky pipes and remove the asbestos but you'll spend the money to convert it to office space for the city?

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
