Although the Sarasota County School Board has narrowly voted against plans to rehabilitate Riverview High School designed by Paul Rudolph, advocates and preservationists have not withdrwan from the battle.
"I just want to underscore that there is much hope still for the building, and the vote was not whether to raze the building, but it was whether to move forward with adopting a site plan and the plans for the Riverview Music Quadrangle." Lenore Suttle, Sarasota Architectural Foundation.
