[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expanding beyond the current building's physical space is a huge undertaking, especially if you want a location that higher-income families are willing to commute to. Current families would not necessarily benefit from the expansion and may want the leadership to focus on improving the school that currently exists. It's hard to get philanthropic funding if you aren't going to focus on low-income kids. And the city thinks that high-income parents will improve their neighborhood schools if they have no other option. So, it just isn't really in the cards.[/quote] +1. The good buildings in convenient locations are mostly taken, and would be fantastically expensive if they did become available. Rehabbing a building is a lot to take on financially, while also operating a school elsewhere. [/quote]
