Simple math is needed to solve school issue

So, let me get this straight. We just sold a school building for around a million dollars, but we want over $50 million to replace roughly the same number of classrooms we just sold.

Idea: school district A has a 1A student body in a 2A school based on a base housing closure. School district B has a 2A student body bursting at the seams with the potential to become 3A.

Simple algebra: 1A + 3A = 2A + 2A. Why not change the 108-year-old boundary between school district A and school district B to accommodate demographic changes, especially since some of the students in school district B live closer to high school A? That way, we can say “yes” to kids without saying “stick ‘em up” to the parents.

Nah makes too much sense — might break a rice bowl.
