From the school siting list –
Two noteworthy excerpts from this piece include:
“More than 5,500 students attend Cypress Bay, which was built in 2002
for 3,400.”
And this:
“The district typically needs at least 40 acres for high schools, a
problem in a county where large tracts of land are scarce and price tags
are sky-high for any available large parcels. And the district is under
the gun to find a spot.”
Note: I wonder if they have thought about using smaller sites. I have
yet to see a study that correlates academic outcomes with large school
sites.
