[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] "What are you talking about. It will be 1300 with the addition. It’s almost 900 now without!" Wrong. It is 1000. [/quote] It was approved at 1300 seats. Then APS made the extremely short-sighted (and typical for [b]APS) decision to only build it out for 1000 students to save something like $11 million.[/b] I might be wrong on that figure but it was absurdly low and a bad move. But it was APS admin stupidity not parent pressure, as I remember it. (And I don't live in the neighborhood, so no dog in that fight). The problem with the Heights was trying to build an architectural masterpiece instead of a basic school to maximize capacity. APS went WAY over budget on it and is still paying for it's flaws. [/quote] NP - I thought this was also intended to keep it in line with the size of the other middle schools? Even though they are crowded. Not saying it was a good decision - because it was absolutely stupid.[/quote]
