I have always wondered why the school board doesn't have a supply of portables to handle the peak load in new communities. As the communities age out and the schools lose enrolment, shift the portables to the newer communities. It just seems more efficient to move the 1 teacher from the underutilized school to where the kids are than to move all the kids to the teacher. Granted, I have no clue on what the cost balance of what that would take.

I also agree that schools need to be connected and integrated into community hubs. I think that a lot of them aren't built that way due to the paranoid parent factor, but it definitely creates far more efficient and usable spaces that can be transformed in its usage as the community ages.
