Item: Tear it down: Majority of speakers would demolish Winton/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: They love their old school, but most parents and teachers who spoke to school officials Wednesday at Winton Elementary said they would prefer a new building that retains the historic character of the original 1920s-era school house that serves as the front section of the existing building. The meeting, attended by about 50 citizens, was hosted by the school district's administration and board so they could find out how important the old building is to the school community and residents of the surrounding neighborhood.

Question: Is new and functional better than old and historic, when it comes to Winton School?
