POLL: Build a New High School or Fix the Old One?

Does Somerville need a new high school, or should it invest in maintaining the current facility.

A group of engineers recently informed the city that it needed to make about to the exterior of Somerville High School over the next four years. 

As a result of those projected costs, the city will study the short- and long-term needs of the school and consider the possibility of building a new high school.

The city is forming a working group to study the engineering report. In addition, the city will conduct a feasibility study that includes various options, including the option of building a new facility, possibly at a different location.
