[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are forgetting that when the original idea of making the Wilson site a neighborhood MS, parents FREAKED out.[b] Noone, NOONE, wanted their kids in such an urban area going to MS. [/b]Plus, it was realized that there was no way to house 1300 kids in such a small footprint.

The new HB/Stratford school is not only going to be a co-located school (HB kids plus the Stratford program(which requires expensive accomodations/facilities)) it will also serve the community with a turf field with lights and indoor basketball court/gym.

Let's look at the real issue of overcrowding - the county approving all of these low income residences with nowhere to put all the kids that will fill them. The county/school board made a huge error a a few years' back by thinking that families don't live in apartments. [/quote]

10000% BS. Plenty of parents wanted an urban MS. They just didn’t have the same voracity as the Taylor parents. [/quote]

Cite your source. Every documented public hearing had parents saying they didn't want an urban MS. [/quote]
