Latest capital roundup

When I'm not as attentive to this space, the open tabs on my browser for items to mention here start to pile up.
Here's a roundup of what's been crossing my desk in the past two or three weeks.

• The Orillia Packet and Times on rebuilding a school;
• The Niagara Advance on NOTL council's consideration of the former Virgin PS lands;
• The Kingston Whig-Standard on a needed reno at a high school;
• The Sault Star on a ceiling collapse at a school in Chapleau;
• The Star again on a rodent problem in a brand new school, with a followup from the board response;
• The Timmins Daily Press on mothballing (but not selling) an empty school;
• The Mitchell Advocate on a church's purchase of a closed school;
• The Stratford Beacon-Herald with a related piece on the two schools that didn't sell;
• The Sarnia Observer on the Lambton-Kent DSB's decision not to start any closure reviews this school;
• The Peterborough Examiner on two surplus school sales; and,
• The Owen Sound Sun Times on a call from Kincardine for major renos at its high school.

I haven't included a number of other tabs relating to a few school-closure reviews, some more on the wi-fi in schools debate, some trustees getting slapped on the wrist and the continuing PCVS coverage from Peterborough. More on those in a day or two.
Kudos to these folks for the coverage. The sexy article is the one with the crying students and parents when a decision is made to close a school. These help explain that night is not the end of the story.
