Can anyone tell me why there isn't another north high school in the ten year plan. The Mallard Creek one is to open in 2007/2008. It is common knowledge that it will immediately be overcrowded when it opens. As Vance, Hopewell and especially North Meck. are already overcrowded. North Meck this year alone is 1300 students over what it was built for. Next year they say it could be 1900 students over what it was built for. That number alone would fill up the new high school at Mallard Creek. So, my question is why are they not slating another new north high school in the ten year plan? We are setting ourselves up for failure again and again. I would love for someone to tell the board what the projected number of high schoolers will be in the north in the next 10 years and exactly how they will be accomodated.
The kids in the north deserve to have schools that are not bursting at the seams. It creates alot of problems for them and administrators. It creates stress on the system and does not provide an optimal learning environment for anyone. We must address these issues. They won't go away. There is going to be egg on the face of Guy Chamberlain and crew when the new Mallard Creek High opens and is immediately overcrowded with not another school in the pipeline whatsoever. Get one the ball guys. Do Your JOB!!!
