The fact that it keeps getting mentioned like it has been means I am inclined to think that there isn't enough space for all the students, but they people are complaining for more political reasons.
Anyone have any numbers that can back up one side or the other?

Earl Gray school currently has 180 students, the breakdown is here:

They have it by age, looks like one class per age level to me. The same page says the have 13 class rooms total. That would allow for 2 classes of grades 1-6, plus AM/PM kindergarten sharing a room.
The Elbow Park school enrollment is here:

Adding the two enrollments it looks like 2 classes per grade would work for every grade except grade 3.
So Earl Grey would probably need to have one portable added to make it work. Instead, we're bringing in portables for everyone, a portable gym, and then rebuilding a whole school. Even if a small permanent expansion was required at Earl Grey that would be the right choice.
