Cam Johnson Asks:
What are your thoughts on the overcrowding of many of the cities school’s? And what can be done to help that problem?
I believe overcrowding to be a complex issue and it deserves a close look at catchment areas and enrollment numbers before making a final decision. However, I do feel that too many portables at a school can be a bad thing, but at the same time, a couple portables utilized to be fiscally responsible with moderate enrollment growth in a school to be a fair decision to make. If I were elected as a school board trustee I would be interested in working towards capital projects to improve our existing schools as well as a possible new school if it were deemed viable. Ultimately it comes down to how do we best support the students learning experience in School District 73.
