Growth strains at Columbia Schools as 200 new homes rise
In Columbia Township long time homeowners resist rapid growth while Creekwood and other developments bring over 200 new houses. The district, with Copopa Elementary and its middle and high schools, plans for enrollment boosts near 200 children, stressing space. Officials note overcrowded classrooms, crowded lunch periods, and converted spaces as boards eye a $38.5 million bond for renovations and a two story athletic complex on the November 2025 ballot.
