What to do with Dale Park School

From a Citizen:
Some ideas about the future of Dale Park.As you may know, the School District owns the building plus one foot of surrounding land on all sides. The Village owns the rest.Therefore any future use of the building must involve the Village...Since the current Village Administration building is not adequate in size to accommodate all the Village offices adequately (e.g.,the Tax Office is in the Mariemont Executive Building [expensive rent]), why not move some Village offices to Dale Park. This could include essentially everything except the Police & Fire Departments, with some remodeling of the current administration building to suit their needs (e.g., better sleeping quarters for the firemen, upstairs). Further, the current Village Admin building is not handicap accessible, and parts of Dale Park are (e.g.: the cafeteria level, I believe).Other parts of the building might be used for larger space for Mariemont Preservation Foundation, with expanded space for displays and perhaps a museum, including some American Indian artifacts from the area.Still other parts might be used for expanded space for the MariElders, again, with larger handicap accessible meeting space.Perhaps the School district offices might also remain there, to save $ instead of building such space into new school buildings.

I've also heard about making Dale Park a Rec Center. There are lots of great ideas out there.
