It is already overcrowded, my daughter loves the school and is only in 6th grade but her only complaint generally is that she gets bumped and shoved in the hallways because it is too many people! This will only become worse by bringing outside children from another overcrowded school into ours. I am sorry they are having problems, but it should not become RKA's problem.

No overcrowded RKA and no taking away of classrooms at the already overcrowded RKA the board of education need to try harder to find a better solution that serves the children of RKA and PS24 better. It affects the quality of education and safety.

I'm not sure what the answer is but RKA students should not be penalized because PS 24 did not take care of it's lease at Whitehall!

Please fix this problem. Overcrowding is dangerous and not conducive to learning. Elementary school children should not Share space in a school with older, middle school students.

Overcrowding isn't good for anyone. Please don't squeeze more students into an already over burdened environment.
It doesn't make sense to add more kids to an overcrowded situation especially since the incoming kids would be so much younger. There is a reason elementary aged kids are separated from middle and high school aged kids.

This is awful. They should stop building so many new buildings. They are going up in every vacant space. Someone should regulate the zoning laws for over population in our area. Our children are suffering from this and it is now affecting their education. Its a disgrace! I moved to Riverdale 19 yrs ago and I am totally disgusted.

As a parent I see this as very easy way out you are taking and are being very inconsiderate with the students who attend RKA 141. You are not thinking how this would affect there learning environment.

An even larger concern is having elementary aged students in a school building which houses pre-adolescents and young adults; not an ideal situation. Additionally, the sheer number of students at RKA MS/HS is already at an enormous high. Reconsider other viable options.
