You have a growing school-age population? Ours is declining. Nonetheless, the School District is taxing us to death to replace all of their buildings this decade except the 2 they built last decade.
Because of that, I'm not convinced the school building frenzy around the country has much to do with immigration or the number of children at all. I think it's about the NEA demanding new sparkley environments for their teachers to work in, where each teacher has their own classroom and own office.
A common complaint we heard at the High School (98-02) was from 'teachers with a cart'. They had to complain to every parent at every opportunity that they couldn't provide a quality class because they didn't have their own classroom - they had a cart that they had to take from room to room. Personally, I thought it was great that we were using most of the rooms all day, even if the teachers were only teaching 4 out of 8 periods...
That is true also. But Bush visited us (our city) and told us we needed to get ourselves in the mind frame to educate illegals. So I think there is a double whammy going on in education against parents and tax payers.
