As the state’s oldest high school building continues to show its age, the Salt Lake City School District is asking voters to approve a $730 million bond to replace the aging West High School structure which dates back to 1921.“Everything here is an after-fact,” said Isaac Astill, executive director of auxiliary services for the district. “There are a lot more efficient ways to do things now. We have a lot of challenges, even if it's just a small pump that goes down.
“Learning about what new high schools have, the space, the common area, the natural light they can have, technology and looking at where we are going with what we want to offer students here, our facility just can’t keep up with that,” said Wright, who is also a 1998 graduate of the school.Smaller classrooms lack the number of electrical outlets and wiring needed for today’s technology, and issues exist for cooling and heating systems.
