[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Wilson REALLY overcrowded, or is this thread just puffing at windmills?[/quote] 1600 students in a building that can accommodate 1300. If kids are succeeding, it is despite the inept administration. They sell it as kids learning to "advocate for themselves". [/quote] And I am wrong. There are now 1,791 students at Wilson.[/quote] Again, building capacity is a fantasy number. It was arbitrarily arrived at by determining the amount of space per sq ft a student needs. It’s like vapor math. [/quote] Well, yes and no. When a school building is first built, they will set a capacity number based on the number of learning spaces/classrooms and the union-based/best practices ideal number of student per learning space. That is the number the building is "designed to accommodate," which is different from fire code capacity, which is different from how many they will happily squeeze in there. [/quote]
