Apartment project near Home Depot could affect consolidation
The planned 350 plus apartments with about 1,000 bedrooms near The Home Depot would draw more college students and families seeking mobile homes into Kennedy School's area where about 80 percent qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. District leaders see potential benefits for consolidation, arguing a larger school could attract more resources and address at-risk needs with a full-time nurse and social worker, though the impact on support for an east side consolidation remains uncertain. Dawn Shew, Kennedy parent on the Working Group, notes the persistent need for a full-time nurse amid a large at-risk student population.
