[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wilson might have been a good fit for H-B and Stratford if APS had gotten its act together and done something about capacity issues 10 years ago. Now the programs are in a building that can't house enough students to fix the problem even if the current occupants were evicted. So where do you move H-B and Stratford students while you tear down the building on Vacation Lane and rebuild, even assuming that's the best place for it?[/quote]

There weren't any capacity issues 10 years ago. Total enrollment in APS dropped every year between 2002 and 2006. They never would have gotten the support to add capacity 10 years ago--too many existing schools need renovation. Growth has outstripped their best projections, anyhow--in 2007, they projected five years out and estimated that there would be 19,000 students in 2012 and elementary capacity would still be under 100% in aggregate, although certain schools would be overcrowded. Actual enrollment was over 21,000 and more than half the schools were very overcrowded.
