[quote=Anonymous]The debates over parking and the size of the school enrollment really miss the point. The Murch community cares more about the educational components of the school than parking. Most of the staff can't park onsite now and wouldn't be able to in the future. The Murch community does not want a super-sized school. The Murch community has tried to figure it out for years and has told DC to engage and figure it out for years -- with all of the suggestions people are offering.

DC didn't make any tough choices or do the work to make changes. The school is in atrocious condition and needs to be redone NOW. So we can only work with what we have now. The city requires the parking, the school lot is small, and the school population is big. Even the basic educational components won't fit without something going underground. The city promised the school and the Council they had given the project enough to do that and settled on a design that was pretty bare bones in terms of space based on what was needed. Now the city says they don't have enough money budgeted because they did not estimate correctly. So the city is proposing to redesign four months before construction starts. They will include the required parking, even if it comes at the expense of things like a cafeteria and a library/media center (or at least one that is much bigger than a classroom). That is ridiculous and should not happen. [/quote]
