This level of accuracy requires careful research and relies on information from multiple sources. The District tracks housing construction, birth rates, and other factors that affect enrollment. They know where developments are planned and keep in touch with developers to ensure that we have the latest information on their timeline for building and sales. They track local births and know how many of those children likely will show up in our kindergarten classes in five years’ time. So to wonder why these news schools and modernization is needed, seems a bit out of touch given all of the growth happening in this area. Just look around you, and you will see how quickly this area is growing and the impact it is having on our schools. Please vote Approve for the April 22nd Bond Measure to help alleviate overcrowding in our schools.AbleAprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663001355564731293noreply@blogger.com
