But Where Will They Go to School?

Planning Commission gives tentative green light to a 600 home development -- with kids from those houses zoned for Station Camp schools, it seems.  Schools that are already at or over capacity. 

No word yet on plans to either 1) expand Station Camp facilities (on hold because of budget issues) or 2) build new schools in or near the area to accomodate future growth or 3) rezone schools so that over-crowding is less of a challenge.

With this development and the nearly completed apartment complex behind Indian Lake Cinemas, it seems the area is poised for significant growth and in just the areas where schools are already maxed out in terms of space. 

Will these developments lead to a corresponding request by the schools for more capital funds to upgrade existing facilities or build new ones?  Will the School Board start asking cities to slow growth while the schools catch up?
