I’m particularly struck by this statement by JCI’s staff member Eric Kaiser:
“The school [Ordean] as designed will have 20% excess student capacity. We are planning for 3000 kids in the school. We are hoping to fill up the school with more kids that will be returning to Duluth Schools once their parents see how beautiful the new schools will be.”
What the Hell! 3,000 kids! What about that 20% extra capacity the Red Plan is supposed to be fixing? Are these folks really going to over build a school on the gamble that kids who have transferred out of the District will come back? Have that many kids left? Why haven’t they made this enrollment loss or this vast new expansion public? Will the eagles at Ordean be able to see over this building? Have they told the School Board? Oh, never mind that last question. It was stupid. They don’t need to.
