[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The data they provided is interesting. To me it makes Option 2 a very good one as it balances out Facility Utilization. If the goal of the boundary study is to solve overcrowding in some schools, a balanced school utilization is critical. The data is showing that Option 2 will not create overcrowding and middle or high school.

On the other hand Option 1 is horrible for a school like Wheaton HS, where it is left with 117% utilization where 5 other high schools are at 80% to 85%. Thye will need to do another boundary study in 5 years if they go with Option 1.

They said something in the meeting tonight about how Wheaton and Edison are right next to each other and that option 1 wasn't as bad as it looked because there was a way to absorb the extra students -- I really couldn't follow it.[/quote]

They want money to expand Edison. But there are enough seats in the existing buildings if they use them efficiently. And it will take time to build that out, otherwise they would have already done it. Not just time to actually build it but also to approve it, if it is ever approved. In the meantime, Latinos at Wheaton endure more overcrowding unless we launch an opposition campaign ([b]which the White communities  do not have to do, since their schools will be protected from overcrowding[/b]).[/quote]

WJ's "white communities" have been enduring overcrowding for many years.[/quote]
SO HAS THE DCC[/quote]

Yes. Which is why they just put an addition onto Kennedy and are building a greatly expanded new Northwood building.[/quote]
They should have been building a new school to relieve Blair. At the old Adventist site. [/quote]
