The students are coming, and we're going to have to do something to accommodate the growth.

In lieu of not building buildings, we do not have a choice, We are adding 1,000 students per year. We need to be building three schools every two years, and we are not even coming close to that.

Any additional numbers cause us capacity problems. Twenty more students is another classroom somewhere.

We want growth, but do we want to grow by 7,000 students a year (or) 6,000 students a year? We've got to, as a county, as a community, find some way to manage the growth.

The growth model system is going to have to ensure that those students who are very far behind are going to make more than one year's progress in one year's schooling. We are not sure states are prepared to ask that of their teachers.

We are concerned with production growth year after year after year.
