[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Murch is very overcrowded, but it's slated for expansion, which might address the issue. Janney just finished its second expansion and is over-capacity upon opening. There was a lot of static from Janney families whose houses would have been moved into Hearst and the advisory committee made up an expected enrollment number that is low by about 10 percent even in the first year, and said there was no need for redrawing boundaries. Thats what happens when you have an advisory committee made up with people with aspirations for higher office.[/quote]

This is a misconception.  Murch's renovation now is needed simply to bring up to code the space for the amount of children who are enrolled.  We would need to almost triple the size of the school to fit in the students.  Murch will not have additional space and given the constraints of most of our land being NPS - we are not even sure we can renovate to properly fit our current enrollment.  We really need our boundaries redrawn![/quote]
