[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ATS has 542 students.  McK has 757.  At least according to APS, ATS has 4 trailers, McK has 8.   It's more than bursting at the seams and[b] lost its field too,[/b] after years of construction.  And didn't gain an extra music or art or gifted teacher to account for the extra enrollment.  Those are facts too.

[b]Ummmm...what field did they lose? They will lose some field if they get more trailers. The current location of the trailers was an unusable green space. [/b]

You do bring up a good question. How many art teachers and music teachers do most schools in APS get?[/quote]

No.  Before construction, there was actually a baseball field at McKinley.  You have to go back in time to find it, though.  Starting a few years ago, they covered it with trailers for construction with the promise that the field/outdoor space would be restored after construction.  Oops.[/quote]

I wrote the bolded - sorry, I thought you were talking about ATS. I am very very aware of what happened at McKinley. McK has been dealing with unfair issues for a long time. Still a great school! ATS - even with 8 more trailers has TONS of field space left over. [/quote]
