We have lived in WRV for 16 years. We only have one child who attends private school. We chose private school because of the overcrowding problem. However we still care very much about what happens to our neighborhood school. We support this petition.

Anything other than the small school concept will destroy this neighborhood and our home values in the long run.

I do not support the idea of adding more classrooms on to already larger elementary schools. Part of what makes the Lake Highlands community appealing is that we are NOT a suburban mega school neighborhood. Please help us keep it that way.

WRE is already big enough. Just watch drop off and pickup time.

Please do not add onto any LH elementary schools. They are already too large as it is. My children already miss out on opportunities for activities at school because of the overcrowded school. For example, most RISD elementary schools have awards ceremonies every six weeks to spot light attendance and achievements our kids have made. WRE is unable to have these assemblies due to lack of time and lack of space for parents to attend. The neighborhood is not the small community it use to be and it makes us very sad. I grew up in LH and work for RISD. It upsets me that administration is trying to "fix" the short term problem but really not thinking about how it is affecting the neighborhood and most importantly the kids.

I do not support a mega school elementary concept. We will seriously consider other options if this comes to fruition. I have not been impressed with the board's and administration's lack of action and rhetoric.

The smaller school size is a key to its success. It fosters commubity, where Plano megaschools turn children into anonymous numbers. Moreover, we are an urban, not suburban! We need free space and lack the capacity for expansion! Please stop patching the problem and devise a long-term solution. If the school continues its excellence, others will continue to move to our community and we will have additional growth. We need an additional school and possibly redefined boundaries. Please think 20 years out, not 3 or 5!

I support the district not continuing to provide band-aides by building on and not coming up with a more strategic, long term plan. Thank you.
