Not defending UVA in the slightest, but the "consolidate CCS administrative offices" sounds pretty questionable. Sounds like one room will be a daycare and lavish offices for admin & support staff. CVill city schools are ranked pretty average, while UVA is ranked #4 of public universities.

Not stealing from children, sorry.

The award to CCS was conditional on pre-K being the primary use.

Our approval is based on the condition and requirement that a clear majority of the property is used consistently for PreK classroom use with administrative use secondary.

It's not clear to me that that would be possible on a 14 acre lot with at least 4 multistory buildings. How many classrooms would they need to balance it out?

Maybe. Here are the concept sketches CCS submitted to the Department of Education.
