Fullerton Ca Schools Overcrowding

A bond sale that would help cover the costs of reducing class sizes in primary grades may be considered by the Fullerton School District. The district's superintendent, Ron Cooper, said he is studying whether placing a bond measure on the next election's ballot would be possible. He said he is checking with other school districts to find out how much money would be needed to pursue the campaign and how difficult it might be.

Beechwood Elementary School hasn't served as a place for kids to attend class in nearly two decades, but it will reopen for the 1999-2000 school year. Trustees of the Fullerton School District this week voted for the reopening, citing rising student enrollment and projections that new housing being built in the area will result in more pupils. The elementary school district has rented the school to the Fullerton Joint Union High School District since 1981.

In an effort to avert future overcrowding problems, the Fullerton School District Board of Trustees has approved a policy that extends the deadline for students wanting to transfer from schools inside or outside the district. District officials now have four weeks after school starts in September to decide whether to allow a transfer student to stay. If the schools become overcrowded during those four weeks, transfer students will be sent to schools in their own attendance areas.
