Nearly four years after a deadly massacre where a lone gunman killed 27, including 20 students, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Ct., a rebuilt school is set to repoen next month.
The rebuilt school will have room for 506 students, and has 86,000 square feet.
The state-of-the-art facility has a glass facade and grassy courtyard. It also has leaf sculptures and a mural.

You conspiracy fruitcakes just LOVE to pick the scar, re the killings, pour salt into the now opened wound, and blow raspberries at us.
How would YOU like it if we wrote lies and stupid stuff about where YOU ( pl ) live and tell you that WE are right and that YOU know nothing ?
Some Freepers still are drinking the Cruz-AIDE and see Cruz as SAINT TEDDY. Does that make them correct? *snicker*
The main reason I retired and stayed in Florida because these are the same people who told me to my face that my 22 years of service was a complete waste of time...
I been all around the world and seen sights of massacres turned into parks or museums, it seem a more fitting of letting future generation never forget what happened here. Sandy Hook is deserving of that level of reverence and respect.
You are not helping.
In my neighborhood the city council put up a referendum for various improvements to the local high school. As the parents of two children attending we took this very seriously. We examined every issue (there were many, always different) and made our own conclusions. At one point I offered my services to deal with their HVAC complaints, free of charge (my offer wasn’t rebuked, it was simply ignored).
The facility was fine. Computer Labs, Gymnasium, Performing Arts Area, Cafeteria, Outdoor Commons, Faculty Lounge, everything you could observe, were perfectly serviceable. It was IMHO 10% less than state of the art. It just wasn’t NEW.
This went on for ten years; each time the voters said “no”. Every referendum was voted down by a fairly large margin. The majority of the voters in the area felt the same way I did; it was unnecessary overreach and an undue burden on the taxpayers destined to support it.
For two years there were no more referendums. As a naive voter I thought to myself, “They finally got the point”.
The next year the big construction equipment arrived on site and stayed for the next three. We now have a brand new state of the art high school. Among the niceties it has is state of the art signage on the corner equipped with hi-def color graphics which can be programmed from a cellphone.
The city council simply went ahead with their most grandiose plans privately, without voter knowledge or involvement. It’s been said you can’t fight city hall. Oh you can, however if you win it will be a Pyrrhic victory. The vast majority of the members were kicked to the curb. Yet the increased taxes remain . . .
THEN YOU PAY FOR IT !
You may have grown up in New England, but it wasn't here and whatever schools you attended either never taught you have to write proper English prose, or you were unteachable. Your grammar is amazingly bad.
Monuments, in Europe, aren't and weren't put up to commemorate an insane child who went on a killing spree; all alone.
It is YOU who aren't helping! The only thing that you and your now dwindling cohorts do, is to inflame, bait, and post patently ridiculous post about things you neither know the facts of, nor understand at all.
The vast majority of things that the MSM, of EVERY variety, wrote/said about Newtown was incorrect and laughable! Ditto the murders and what went on or didn't. And the imbecile bloggers, who wrote endless nonsense about this, were/are completely and utterly WRONG! And THAT is what YOU and your ilk base your benighted opinions on.
They hold town hall meetings, almost everyone says NO! They then put up a town wide vote on it and it gets voted down, so they wait a week or three and put it up for a vote again. This goes on and on and on. The longer they hold the voting, the more people just stop voting and then they push the taxes or in this case, the new unnecessary school, through.
To quote Slick Willie...I feel your pain; I have it too!
That’s because it’s all a conspiracy. The school never existed in the first place. It was really a FEMA camp. They had to build the new school for the cover story.
who ya gonna believe, the L$M or yer own lyin eyes? just sayin...

“The state-of-the-art facility has a glass facade and grassy courtyard. It also has leaf sculptures and a mural.”
Nice. Does it have any security features that would prevent the same thing happening again?
“...in the same location.”
The article posted said it’s been rebuilt in Monroe, CT.
I thought it was originally in Newtown—?
Or is that like saying NYC and Brooklyn interchangeably?
Idiot.

Seriously, they let you in the Air Force? For 22 years?
Sheesh.
FWIW, there really is such a thing as a “crisis actor” but obviously you don’t know what that is, or you’d stop posting this hateful ignorance.
Wow, I never knew this topic was so controversial. After reading this thread and replies I’ll stick to my original intention: prayers for the victims and their families. Such a sad day for everyone.
Amen.
That's right, believe the MSM, Resettozero...after all aren't we all living in a ROARINGLY great economy, with an unemployment rate of 3%, and the streets paved in gold? *snicker*
No it wasn’t a FEMA CAMP and YOU are an F’in MORON, who needs to FTFU and NEVER EVER post again!
Are you one of the creepy Sandy Hook truthers who stalk the parents in SH and take photos of their kid’s tombstones? Or are you just a scumbag who supports infects conservative websites with lunatic nonsense?
LOL Three more bites and you’ll be in John Semmens territory.
