Courtesy of that whole Federal stimulus package that smart people say wasn’t enough to begin with, $52.5 million dollars will be funneled into seven Jefferson County schools for maintenance, new additions and other renovations that would’ve taken years under the trickle-down, starve-the-beast domestic spending policy we’ve come to know and love.

Here’s a list of the projects, via The C-J:

Valley High: New auditorium and gymnasium as well as heating and air conditioning replacements and other renovations — $26 million
Iroquois High: Heating and air conditioning replacements and other renovations — $9 million
