[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18:26 - Murch's IB enrollment is about twice its building's capacity, so the community would gladly take a "right-sizing".[/quote] I believe the DME tried to do that but nobody was willing to head south to Hearst. Can't have it both ways. [/quote] In fact, the DME moved more than 100 students out of Murch, many of them south to Hearst. That's enough to bring Murch's IB population down to 476 (according to the DME), just under the current building capacity of 488. To oppose expansion is therefore to oppose OOB enrollment. [/quote] Actually, the capacity of 488 includes a temporary building that has been there since 1988 and is in terrible condition. So the change would still have the school over capacity. Plus there still wouldn't be cafeteria or indoor recess space. Nor a nurse's or counselor's office that was not located in an old, not fully renovated bathroom.[/quote]
