If the student enrollment is dropping then (I'm A laymen) but that would mean future counts will be very low for our middle and high schools. Where are all the students moving into these condo's and apartments going? Not Edmonds I guess!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-47124507434920901432008-04-17T08:20:00.000-07:002008-04-17T08:20:00.000-07:00To: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 6:25:00 AMIn order t...To: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 6:25:00 AM<BR/><BR/>In order to do the math, you have to count the number of students coming in from the lower grades, which is smaller than the current high school population (i.e. declining enrollment).<BR/><BR/>I don't have the data to refute your numbers, but if the schools have the capacity, there is no "overcrowding". Closing a school is not a popular choice, but it is an option during tough financial times. Certainly, spending millions of dollars to build a new high school in declining enrollment should be reviewed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-85184097002790512732008-04-16T07:23:00.000-07:002008-04-16T07:23:00.000-07:00Do not forget Scriber.

Maybe that timeline was just a bit of advertising.<BR/><BR/>And of course, at the mere thought of not having their own brand new high school, the Lynnwood kids would have toddled off to the "home school" program.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-80671067989222790642008-04-16T06:25:00.000-07:002008-04-16T06:25:00.000-07:00I like the tone of your article Claire but where i...I like the tone of your article Claire but where is that you think 1350 LHS students should go? "Absorbed" into existing schools? If you divide up the students currently at LHS and distribute them among the other schools it would look like this<BR/><BR/>EWHS 1765 + 450 = 2215 Students<BR/>MDHS 1457 + 450 = 1907 Students<BR/>MTHS 1538 + 450 = 1988 Students<BR/><BR/>Last question, How i the world does overcrowding our current school help anyone at all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-12790598610002949372008-04-15T20:01:00.000-07:002008-04-15T20:01:00.000-07:00And now they are cutting librarians to half time a...And now they are cutting librarians to half time at the six lowest enrollment elementary school!
