Property values in the area would have decreased without the school leading to reduced property tax revenue.
So, no, the total cost would not have been ~$0.
That's not to say that rebuilding wasn't still more expensive (I don't know which would have been more), but this flaw which underpins your sensationalist rhetoric deserves noting.
