Sam Sheldon argues the bond plan hinges on reducing class sizes rather than space needs. He cites a drop in elementary enrollment from 1212 in 1990 to 1148 and notes a district ratio of 17.66. He suggests 20 to 25 students per classroom could raise capacity to 1300 or 1625, implying policy aims drive construction.
