Why doesnt the district add on to existing schools instead of building new ones?
The community and the Board of Education have been committed to small schools and small class sizes. The 1998 WSU study recommended that a full capacity elementary school not exceed 500 students for optimal learning. In addition, adding classrooms to an already at-capacity school building does not solve space issues in the hallways, restrooms, cafeteria, library, and classrooms that house computers, art and music, for instance.
