Maybe this is not actually a shell game, but it is making me dizzy.  The district keeps closing schools "due to declining enrollment," yet they also keep telling us they need huge new bonds to build new schools.  

And now they're going to keep  --  but not use  --  a school they say they don't need, so they can replace a school they do need?  If I own two houses, do I leave one standing vacant so I can tear down the one I live in?  Why don't I move into  --  or renovate  --  the vacant one?

Rather than berate the PA voters for not endorsing their ill-explained construction plans, the district should really consider how they look from the outside.
