What the district isn't putting in the paper is that they took full classrooms from other schools to put them in Ross. However, they are not making the students go to Ross.

Seems only about 70 students of the right ages live north of the By-Pass -- and now the U$D wants to put the second middle school up north, too.
Where do the most students live ? South of City Hall. And what happened to the less than $20 million addition to the current middle school ? Not cost enough ?
The principal of the then Jr. High, in the mid 1960s, has told me that the school could hold then almost a thousand. What's happened to that space ? Offices, more offices, and more offices ?
Time to back down this massive new middle school rehab of Hennesey Hall project. It is just not needed when a much less expensive addition to the current middle school would work. And no matter the numbers in 4th and 5th grades, the school total number of students has gone down now for about three years. This is never talked about.
