This is the part that makes me the most angry.  They clearly knew this winter that construction was going to be delayed, but waited until this week to tell the McKinley parents and the McKinley staff. I think APS was trying to avoid delaying the boundary changes by cutting off any time for debate. Now they are going to say that they are too close to the new school year to make the changes.  Neighbors are unhappy too about the parking situation. McKinley lost half their parking spaces because the gym trailer had to on the existing lot. There are only ~20 spaces for the entire school, so the overflow already goes heavily into the neighborhood.  Adding more families without the parking will only make this problem worse. Imagine 712 students and 20 parking spaces-- that's what it will be next year.  Unlike some of the other elementary schools, McK is smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood, so there is no place for any overflow parking that isn't right in front of someone's house.[/quote]
