Tiffany glass found at new school site, incorporated into design

From NY1:

The site of new public school in Queens became an archeology dig after construction workers discovered fragments left behind by one of America's great artists, Louis Comfort Tiffany.

This will cost how much?

And some wonder why it is that after spending over twenty thousand dollars per student per year, that they are still in the lower percentiles...

If the monetary value is high on the glass, why didn't the city sell the glass instead of encasing it in a storage display in an expensively built school?

Any other city would have made a museum out of this and perhaps a workshop in glass - but then it would take away one of the few things the Queens Museum is noted for.

So the kids get to play with discarded scraps and garbage just like the 3rd world.
