While Oakridge was at slightly higher building capacity this year than McKinley (120% vs. 118%), they had a much better situation than McKinley in certain respects. Oakridge's cafeteria capacity is about 50% greater than McKinley's, so it was at only 71% of its three-seating capacity this year while McKinley was at 106%. And for about the same number of students, Oakridge has four times as much available outdoor playspace for recess and other outdoor activities. Oakridge certainly has its cause for complaints, but let's be real about the relative situations.[/quote]

McKinley parent here. Schools like Oakridge and ASFS have similar huge capacity challenges, but each scenario is slightly different.  OP's initial post is asking about a breaking point as if it changes something.  Nothing changes.  Relief isn't coming until the fall of 2021, no matter how many kids show up at McKinley each fall.  It's public school, they can't turn kids away they simply have to find more trailers, add more teachers, and cram the building more and more.[/quote]
