What construction features do you want to see?

On Sunday, we started running the first of three stories I worked on this summer about Guilford County Schools and construction (relating to a proposed 2008 bond referendum). I could have gone in a hundred different directions with these stories, but I tried to keep it as simple and focused as I could and proceed from there. By no means does this first story cover every construction trend out there these days. I also did not get into distinguishing between "education specifications" and design specs and technical specs, which I thought might be coma-inducing to all but hardcore followers. But in essence, these guidelines would cover everything from the types of toilets and sinks in a bathroom to how a school should be structured to accommodate education programs.

At any rate, two more stories will follow: one on the fractured relationship between the school board and county commissioners and the other a comparison of Northern High in Greensboro and Reagan High in Forsyth County.

Steps across the entire front of the stage. E. P. Pearce is correct. Guilford Middle is wrong.
