We had were promised our children could attend DCGV through their Elementary years. Now one of my children will go to Rose Union due to over crowding. Please put our children first.

We chose this neighborhood based on the schools. To have that be put in jeopardy is sad. Our children deserve more than the developers greed.

Many people move to this neighborhood for the schools. If you choose to sacrifice the school you will lose many quality residents, home values will decrease and all you have done is continue to lower the quality of education in Oklahoma. Job well done...

The neighborhood is currently a family friendly, wonderful development with great amenities. It should not be ruined by overdevelopment and greed of builders to make money on every inch of land. Safety also becomes an issue. Most of all the highly ranked schools are overcrowded jeopardizing the quality of the education of our children at this highly sought after area.

I understand business, but I also understand good business. If someone was promised something, even not in writing, there should be an effort to remediate the situation in a way that doesn't leave a lot of negative feelings with the folks affected. Put in a tree line, stone wall, expand the buffer, something..

Amenities cannot accommodate that many additional houses, schools cannot accommodate that many additional children. As a realtor and resident, I have sold houses on Rolling Hill Way and they were told and even paid a premium for a green belt lot. That should not be taken away from them.

There is an overcrowding problem at the Deer Creek schools. Grove Valley alone has 5 teachers for each grade with 25+ students in each class (that is a conservative estimate). Each 4th grade class has 28 students. There will be approximately 550 incoming 5th graders in the fall. The intermediate school will have approximately 1000 kids (for just 5th & 6th grade). There is supposedly an extra hall being added at the intermediate school to accommodate the amount of students. That more than likely means portable classrooms since there are only 3 halls at the school. The middle school has over 800 students this school year alone. Hence the need to build a 2nd floor on the school since the school was built to accommodate 800 students. All of the pre-k classes are at Rose Union because there wasn't enough room at each school for pre-k and the other grades. I'm not sure about the number but I believe there are 14 pre-k classes. All of these numbers will undoubtedly increase by the next school year. So yes there is an overcrowding problem.
