[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't McKinley just go through a multi-million dollar expansion to increase student capacity and help to relieve overcrowding? Last I checked, it was slightly over 100% capacity. [/quote]

McKinley was built to provide classroom seats for 685 students and as of last week had 795 students in the building + 16 preschool students using a classroom at Reed. Additionally, McKinley's cafeteria can only hold a max of 762 kids with 3 seatings-- which is why McKinley is only one of three elementary schools in the county that had to go to 4 lunch seating shifts. The "percentage over capacity" statistic is meaningless and even the School Board is not referring to it anymore.

Some schools have more land and bigger cafeterias and are able to shoulder the burden of trailers better than others-- and McKinley is *not* one of them. You can figure that out yourself by reading this APS facility optimization report.
