�7,�� 11 1 -'21� -�//V - <br /> My husband and I have lived in this community for the past twenty-five <br /> years. We presently have a fifth grade child at one of the many overcrowded <br /> schools. For the past seventeen years my husband has made a daily commute <br /> of ninety miles so that we could live and raise our family here and enjoy the <br /> benefits of this excellent community, including the fine school system. <br /> We've seen the "village" grow into a bustling small city, Carrboro <br /> become a dynamic town, and Hillsborough benefit from growth and <br /> development. The growth has provided jobs and a healthy economy even <br /> during times when the rest of the country suffered recession. <br /> One of the primary growth industries has been residential housing, as <br /> more people flock to this area, noted and promoted for its many amenities, <br /> among them one of the state's flagship school systems. Well,folks, the <br /> flagship is taking on water and slowly sinking. With all the growth in <br /> residential housing one variable seems to have been left out of the equation: <br /> providing schools for the hundreds of new students the school system is <br /> gaining yearly. When our daughter was born in 1984 I thought, "It's been <br /> more than a decade with no new elementary school; surely by the time she's <br /> in kindergarten...........wrong! <br /> Adding mobile units will never ultimately remedy the problem because <br /> there are physical limitations such as land, optimum capacities of libraries, <br /> cafeterias, gymnasiums, art, music, resource and health rooms. <br /> Transportation-and safety issues also exist. For example, we were notified in <br /> October that our child cannot even have a friend ride home on the bus with <br /> her because the bus was "at capacity." <br />
