| I am wondering where all the people are who were so upset about the school going there, they certainly were not at the meeting yesterday. |

| What is the timeframe for construction and opening of the middle school? |

The kids who are in 2nd grade now will be going there for 8th grade. |

| Awesome -- it should be done right around the time we can afford to live in the neighborhood and go there! |

Maybe, maybe not. And that's even if construction stays on schedule. |

Not to mention more lawsuits. |

maybe maybe not, based on teh lack of real support for the other locations and the lack of real support that testified and showed up, I don't think they have the ammo to over turn it. |

| Does anyone know what the expected traffic patterns around the new MS are supposed to be? What road will be used for buses and student drop off by car, etc.? |

Not sure that rising 8th graders will make the leap to a new school. It's usually considered a hardship to have to spend just one year in a new school environment. I suspect that rising 8th graders will stay at Westland, but rising 6th and 7th will go to the new school. Handling it this way also avoids a lot of potential morale problems with the 8th grade and new school administration. I think I remember one of the building planning people saying this early on in one of the meetings. Is there anyone who has experienced this at a new middle school? Did rising 8th graders transfer? |

| I have a second grader in this district, and I'm curious too. Especially for those of us from Rosemary Hills - our 2nd graders could conceivably do middle school at 3 separate places: 6th at CCES/NCC; 7th at Westland; 8th at the new middle school. I am really happy they're building a new school and will look forward to my younger child going there, and I'm not thrilled about the commute to Westland...but 3 schools in 3 years seems too disruptive. It's still a ways off, but just one more thing to worry about. |

| If it eases your mind, I've been told that in these cases they give 8th graders the choice of whether to move or not. |
