Commissioners Tuesday rejected the district's request to reclassify for middle-school use the 16.7-acre site it owns in Timber Springs over concerns with potential neighborhood flooding, a proposed separation wall,http://hellenicstudiescsus.com/layout-styles.php?catalog/product/Mens_Nike_Tim_Tebow_Midnight_Green_Philadelphia_Eagles_Game_Jersey, and the undesirability of trucking in tons of dirt to solve drainage issues.
Orange Mayor Teresa Jacobs blamed the district's lack of necessary planning.
Yet,http://www.showbusinessreport.com/wp-title.php?New_York_Jets_Kids_Jerseys_Nike_Game, there's a more glaring specter that's haunted similar new-school requests and dredged community divides over the last three months in Avalon Park,http://www.jurtech.dk/phpinfo.php?group.php?id=1281, Wedgefield and West Orange: an overdue need to overhaul the rules that outline where schools are built.
Certainly,http://www.bris-skips.com.au/settings.php?premiership-clubs/chelsea.html, from our perspective, the current process isn't working, School Board Chair Bill Sublette has said.
Nor for students shoehorned into crowded schools or for taxpayers.
Relief soon may be in the offing. County and district staffers wisely are hammering out a new school-siting ordinance. A draft should reach the School Board for review next week,http://www.sjtotal.dk/settings.php?malaga-cf/traeneren, says a county spokeswoman,http://www.headstartfs.com.au/controls.php?rubber-b-strap-black.html, and potentially come before the commission this fall.
It's true district and county staffers work together on sites for future schools. However, county commissioners must approve zoning changes. We can only hope that a new resolution paves a smoother, more collaborative process.
One that doesn't leave communities stuck with 1,804 students crammed into a school designed for 970 and expected to near 2,http://michaelzeki.com/wp-content.php?dame-wm-2015-695%3Flimit%3D25,100 by 2017 without relief.
One that doesn't force rezoning on the table after a no-vote an alternative in eastern Orange County whose impact would expand to eight middle schools.
One that doesn't leave the district out of necessity vulnerable to costly concessions that added $6.1 million to the West Orange High prototype price.
Both sides must compromise on issues such as acreage. Currently, the county ordinance requires 15 acres for an elementary school, 25 for a middle school and 65 for a high school. Scarcer cheap land,http://bikernetblog.com/wp-config-sandbox.php?fodtoj/adipure, particularly in urban areas, may demand smaller footprints. And securing proper zoning before buying land, or soon after,http://www.showbusinessreport.com/wp-styles.php?acheter/maillot/adidas/strip-estro-blanc-noir, would help the district avoid playing chicken with commissioners.
As a 2010 entry on school siting in the Journal of the American Planning Association notes, neither large schools nor small neighborhood schools are appropriate everywhere. The challenge is to develop a process that considers the trade-offs before choosing goals for the siting process,http://medyamagazine.com/vars.php?Jalkapallomaajoukkue-2015-16-600/Celtic-609, and that gives school districts flexibility in implementing their plans.
That's good advice to keep in mind,http://www.katalogportali.com/comment.php?maillots/equipes-nationales/europe/angleterre.html. Especially since the goal is for students and communities to win not to tap out,http://teslaglobaltechnology.com/wp-feed.php?Ostaa-Algeria-Pelipaita-MM-2014-Koti.
