New High School Needs to Be Built
* Re “School Border Dispute Grows,” Feb. 12:
It is ridiculous how the high schools surrounding Laguna Niguel are overpopulated. I attend Dana Hills High School and know, firsthand, the effects of an overcrowded school. The school lockers are shared, classes are mostly in added-on portable classrooms, and hallways and staircases are always congested with people during passing periods. Lunch is a burden rather than a break, with long lines for buying lunch or using the bathroom.
I am absolutely for the building of Tesoro High School. It will not only make it easier on students, but for teachers and staff members for the surrounding schools. Reassigning students who already attend certain high schools is too extreme, but other measures need to be made to control the population of our high schools. Creating new boundaries seems like the only reasonable answer.
