[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I am going to send an email to both the school and county boards asking them to please, please, please work together to find the money to build a fourth full-size high school.

We know these kids are coming.  They are in the system already.  I don't want my kids doing flex scheduling  or alternate days.[b]  And I don't want them attending a 3,000 kid high school.[/b]  I want them to have a normal high school experience.

Raise our taxes if you need to.  But don't pass a plan that basically throws up its hands for 1,500 kids who won't have high school seats.  The time to buy land is NOW, not 10 years from now.[/quote]

I attended a high school with over 3,000 kids. That's not unusually large. 4,000 would be pushing it though. [/quote]

I attended a high school with over 4,000 kids- it was a completely normal high school experience.  My graduating class was just shy of 1,000 people.

It was fine- yes, it was harder to make some sports teams, etc, but on the other hand, there were more sports, clubs, choirs, bands and activities to choose from.  Most of the club teams took anyone that wanted to participate.   My school offered more AP options and electives than most of the neighboring schools.  I'm still in touch with two of my teachers, 25-ish years later.   It was my experience that everyone found their niche.
