"In the end, there are far more students than the schools can accommodate. And the population is growing. Go to West Mercer elementary and take a look at all of the portables. We live in an affluent city, yes. Yet my daughter didn't have access to a bathroom without putting on her coat and walking across the campus to the main building. In the beginning of the school year one of the children told me the A/C was out in a portable. Naturally it was the only hot week of the year. We can do better than this. Something has to happen."
