Further, the building capacity numbers that the administration is targeting are a best guess scenario and do not take into account building specifics. The elementary buildings across the district are not one-size fits all- and important programs will be lost to the reconfiguration of elementary schools. The presentation Dr. Miller presented to the North Allegheny School board on October 24th assumed target building capacities of 540 for every elementary school except McKnight and Marshall. This is inconsistent with both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, which listed individual target capacities for each elementary school building.

At the last NA School board meeting, community members were urged to post questions to the NA Community blog to have their answers regarding school closing recommendations, the Phase 2 Feasibility report, capacity studies, cost savings, redistricting, etc answered in a public forum by the administration.
You’ll notice the last comments were from the end of September. Please let the administration know that you have questions, that you are concerned, and that you want answers!

Please attend the September school board meeting. We need your support at Wednesday night’s (tomorrow) school board meeting.
The meeting will be held at the Central Admin Office, located inside of Carson Middle School, at 7pm. The address is 200 Hillvue Lane.
The representation we have there tomorrow night is critical! Please tell 3 people– and have them tell 3 people. We need to be accurately represented.
Many parents have signed up to speak regarding the recommendation to close Peebles Elementary, elementary class size, and our on-going request for the school board to appoint a committee of local residents including parents, financial professionals, teachers, and local leaders to find more appropriate solutions to district’s challenges.
Your attendance will speak volumes.
