Dad shuttered the family business about 25 years ago and spent the next several years as a “roofing consultant” to the school board, condo associations, hotels, etc. (Anyone with a roof larger than the family home.) His comment to me was that most of these large contracts are so bloated that he could work for 10% of the contract price, save the buyer at least twice what they paid him, and produce a better product for the buyer. But he worked on a fixed price contract (per job) and saved the buyer about 20% over what most contracts ran. (This also started a cottage industry that had its own issues as too many started passing themselves off as “experts” and the same folks that didn’t know which roofer to trust didn’t know which consultant to trust.)

O / T

Breaking news:

Tallahassee Classical Board may not have been in compliance as required by law. They need to provide documentation and verification that there were in fact the required five bona fide board members rather than four, and had the required background checks.

Rickards High School is getting New Construction, Remodeling, and Renovations & Site Improvements for $35,000,000. What does it cost to build a new School? It seems that Rickards has had a LOT of Money thrown at it over the last few Decades, why is that?

Revisions also permit students, enrolled in private school or educated at home, to participate in a District interscholastic or intrascholastic sport? How would that work?

Mr. Jones, I am sure that, like me, back when YOU were in School, it was a very different time back then, there are just some things that do not need to be in the Schools.
