I knew the school was going to be crowded, but I never thought it would be within a year's time.

Now is the best time to look at the situation.

You can't do that. That's when programs start to be affected, core facilities like the cafeteria and gymnasium are affected. It won't be a good place to be, so why should we wait?

We can meet them after school and bring them string cheese and apples.

For me, I'd be missing so much school to leave school so much earlier means making up so much homework, which takes so much time.

It's basically 9 percent more over what we thought we needed last year. We can talk about an increase over what the commissioners gave us last year, but I don't think that's relevant.
