Yes, you are right, CSHS is okay right now, but we all know it's going to be bursting soon. I keep going around and around with people on this, and I guess at some point on this thread we will have to agree to disagree. I think if we can bond today WITHOUT HAVING TO RAISE THE TAX RATE and not expand cshs, build the 3rd high school, it will be ready in 3 years. That gives these supposed new developments like the speedway and margraves to get off the ground and start getting families, and the charter school impact can be properly assessed. Let the CSHS folks live in their portables for 3 years, they asked for it, right? Then, rezone in 3 years. Put proper growth neighborhoods at consol if it's still severely under capacity still, and work on fixing the other two also. But it will be a lot more palatable to the community bc likely all the west neighborhoods will go to the closer, newer school. I think that's what most people in this town want. Just wait, and plan better.
In the meantime, to HELP overcrowding at CSHS by stopping the supposed exceptions that are made, allowing transfers to CSHS. Go where you are zoned, no exceptions for dumb reasons. Apparently that happens A LOT.
Many on this thread have dug in their heels though, and many maroon track parents and homeowners won't pass a bond when there's empty seats. The board says that bonding now is the dumbest idea yet (I think that was nugent). So someone will have to give here, and I'm afraid it's the children. Mostly the 8th graders who have already made their plans and who's worlds will be shattered.
Edit-I should mention bc this ties in. Another reason voters may hesitate on a bond now is because of all the dumb stuff that the board spends money on. rebranding, college view, etc. There's a trust factor there, "will they REALLY do what they said they were going to do with this money?" Something to think about that has nothing to do with taxes or kids.
