I read it to mean a new building in a centralized location gives them the flexibility to close schools with significant capex requirements rather than fix them up. Consolidate students at the new school.

To me it is obvious that building a new school in the face of declining enrollment requires you to close at least one old school for it to make any sense. But it is politically easier to tout the ribbon-cuttings instead of the subsequent closures. Maybe they are right that greenfield is easier but it shows a lack of candor and transparency.
