Cost, Classroom Funding Concerns Stall School Pool Decision

WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- The idea of building a $10 million swimming facility at Prince William County’s next high school was floated again last night.

The county’s Board of Supervisors and School Board met for dinner during a rare joint session Tuesday. There, members heard got an earful about plans for the school from School Board Chairman Milton Johns, but both boards couldn’t reach an agreement on who would build the pool and who would maintain it, the county government or the county school division.

School officials say the new facility would be built at the county’s 12th high school in the area of Va. 234 and Hoadly Road. It would be used by students during the daytime, and then by outside swim teams and residents outside school. If it’s built, it would be the first pool to be inside a county school, and it would be open to all students in Prince William County.
