Because of the changing popluations in neighborhoods, where family grow up and children move on to middle and high school. Many, many school districts build elementary schools with portables added when enrollment may be at its peak. After a number of years, enrollment levels out, and the school capacity will be sufficient for the enrollment. It is not cost effective to overbuild an elementary school, only to have classrooms unused in the not to distant future. This building model has been used in districts throughout the state and saves taxpayers money. In a perfect world, with unlimited funding from the state, perhaps districts could operate differently, but until that time, better to build what will be needed over the long haul, not just during "bubble growth" periods.

I did not receive any email asking me to fill out a survey either. I wish there would not be a biased report coming out of this survey based on some selective community members.

It is from "community.feedback@comcast.net". How many people in the community received this? I live in the Dublin community - specificially Dublin Ranch community - and haven't been asked to fill it out. Is this from the TP team?

Charter school petitions may generally have local support, but very few of them have local school districts support, simply because local school districts have no control over the resource for charter schools.
