[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of Lewis feeder schools with Modular buildings and trailers.

Also WSHS lived with a disgusting, mold infested building for years before it was renovated (at 50 years old).

There isn’t a single school in the Lewis pyramid with an enrollment above the design capacity of the school.  The schools with trailers and modulars have them because their class sizes are much smaller than average, which creates a need for additional classrooms.

West Springfield was built almost a decade after McLean, 2-3 times as much money was spent on its renovation as had been spent renovating either Lewis or McLean, and it was expanded to 2500 seats while McLean and Lewis were left with far fewer permanent seats.

The impact of these decisions is to leave McLean overcrowded and deteriorating, and to stigmatize Lewis since there was such a big expansion of West Springfield even though Lewis is just a few miles away with surplus capacity.

Much of this was courtesy, by the way, of Jeff Platenberg, a West Springfield graduate who until this summer headed Facilities.
