From the report i posted it said that all the new schools will be at 100% capacity before they are even built. Which is obviously problem.

Did he? I think Nenshi clearly said that the UCP have put $0 toward building schools since they made their big $8.6B promise to build schools. That is true. If you go look at the budget there is no money in there allocated toward building schools.
In the previous budget years the UCP did donate $43M to build a charter school, but that doesn't really count as adding a school to the public system. I think last year (before the big promise) they may have had plans to do 10 schools for Calgary but again, I am not sure if any of those have actually been budgeted.
The CBE does say that they have "shovel ready" projects that are waiting on money.
