Chief Sealth Petitions for Portables
The community at Chief Sealth High School is petitioning the superintendent for portables. The overcrowding of the school has put teachers on carts.

Perhaps this petition should go, instead, to the FACMAC.
From the petition:
We informed the District as our remodel was being designed that the remodeled Sealth would have less space due to the removal of the portables. Our enrollment has increased by 400 students since that time and now we have even less space. Our capacity has been set at 1,200 students and we are now at 1,246. Our remodel did not include any planned work spaces.

-Didn't think of how wide this might have stretched
West Seattle HS has 995 students enrolled and a functional capacity of 1099, so they have extra space. Maybe the Sealth/West Seattle HS boundaries need some adjustment?
Otherwise, portables seem like a reasonable request

October 2006 Student Count 1,361
that was for WSHS.
There was plenty of outcry from WSHS about how the district NSAP boundaries were designed to choke WSHS and aid Sealth.
====
The 1,361 was partially due to Cleveland's remodel in year two and several students figuring that WSHS was a better deal than Boren.

Sealth remodel was a bizarre action all by itself. Another School Board abdication from leadership ... Irene Stewart chose not to run in 2007 and was replaced by Sundquist.
