What should have happened is after several inner city schools flooded, they should have been closed and the repair money should have been put into building more schools on the city's perimeter. There are not enough students living in the inner city to support the schools that are there. Most students are bussed in from far away.
The wealthy folks living in those areas are just too influencial to allow our politicians to do the right thing.
Now the fact is when you have a school that is built for 300 and already has 500 in it, it just cannot accept more students. People living close to that school are going to have to go elsewhere.
It is why I bought a home in a more established neighborhood where there are six or seven schools within a km or two.
