[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do some schools need to be joined together? [/quote] That does happen sometimes, but it's hard to do. You have to have a building big enough for the combined population. And people tend to oppose it if it means the school will be farther from home. Whenever you see a school with a hyphenated name, remember that's probably the result of a merger. [/quote] Shaed and Emery were merged in 2011 or around that time to form Langley. That's the only recent merger I can recall, but there are probably more. One of the reasons for the boundary overhaul was to better match students to building capacity. They are reluctant to close schools if enrollment is slowly increasing, or if the toddler population in the area is increasing. Riding out a low point may be the right call in the long term, but it's expensive. [/quote]
