Jamestown can't expand boundaries, Discovery can't take trailers (don't buy that) and Reed will be maxed out b/c of size.  [/quote]

Go look at the Facilities Optimization study and tell me where you'd put trailers on Discovery. There is literally no green space other than the narrow, steep hill between the building and the street.[/quote]

Some schools put trailers on parking lots.[/quote]

The Discovery parking lot can't accommodate a trailer, there's a deep stormwater basin running down the middle of it.[/quote]

Just make a nice path to the current Williamsburg trailers.  Maybe this map will help.  The Map actually thinks the trailers are Discovery - ironic don't you think?

It’s a security risk because there’s no line-of-sight access to Discovery from that part of the Williamsburg lot, a teacher would have to take the kids around a blind corner. Again, go look at the study, APS has said definitively that Discovery can’t take trailers. Your willful ignorance won’t change that.

Are Discovery kids allowed on the soccer field?  Do they have line of site as well?[/quote]

It actually doesn’t because of the fencing around the playground and the brick wall along the front entrance. Also, APS makes money from ASA and other local soccer leagues that pay permit fees for use of those fields, and since they’re turf the leagues pay a premium. APS isn’t going to give that up easily if they can just put more trailers at McKinley or Jamestown instead.[/quote]

So Discovery kids [b]can play on the soccer fields without line of site[/b] but they [b]cannot use trailers on the Williamsburg tennis courts without line of site?[/b] Yeah that makes sense.[/quote]

Discovery students don’t use the soccer fields.[/quote]
