[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The NIMBY last night was a man not woman but he was very upset and yelling over people.

I don't at all want to dismiss the neighborhood's concerns. But let's get the math straight. 1500 + 1300 = 2800, not 3800. It's still a lot of kids, yes, but not as many as are being proposed for WL. More like the same number that will be at WL in a couple of years just with the overcrowding.[/quote]

And again, that is 3800 kids spread between elementary, middle, AND high school versus WL which would be alll HS and competing for spaces in academic and extracurricular programs, and ALL be on same schedule.  Totally different animal[/quote]

3800 is incorrect. Please no alternative facts.  1300 HS + 1000 MS + approx. 500 ES = 2800.

We can and should as a community insist on equal amenities by the time it becomes a comprehensive high school (i.e. when the MS moves out and it goes from choice to neighborhood school- before that, if possible). But I just dont see the inequity. It is one of the largest plots of land APS. Larger than WL or Yorktown. Let's fight for the facilities it needs and deserves but let's face facts that it will be built on.[/quote]
