[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess one of the things that I don't get is how is it in anyone's interest to have elementary schools as large as Murch and Janney are projected to be. Both schools are well over 600 this year, and likely to be close to 700 next year. And projections just go up from there for a little while. At what point is it just too much? Or physically impossible to fit in any more students? Who would want their 4 year old in a school with 800, 900, 1000 kids?[/quote] I don't think they are building Hearst that large to be a local school. Rather, it seems destined to be a super-sized version of its current role: serving a small IB population but principally being a WOTP school to accommodate OOB demand. It's one thing to have an use excess seat capacity for OOB enrollment. It's quite another to deliberately build it. No question that Hearst needs facilities like a lunch room and overall modernization. But it doesn't need such expansion.[/quote]
