A Voice within the school body of 400

Yesterday I got this letter from my school an urgent one a matter a fact. The letter brought fourth about how the Board Of Ed took away 2 classrooms of our 22. Now we have a lack of classrooms provided for The Opportunity Charter School which holds starting in September 400 students from 6th to 12th grade. As the letter stated; Students will be forced to adapt to crowed classrooms WHICH WILL DISTRACT FROM THEIR ABLITY TO LEARN AND PREFORM. Also FEWER COURSES WILL BE OFFERED, THE SAFTY OF THAT CHILD WILL BE COMPROMISED.
When I read this I was in shock because we never had this type of propblem but now that I see they are putting a 2nd school inside another school which totals up to three schools. The Board Of Ed need to get their stuff together they should know putting another school inside will cause problems. OCS had problems getting testing space in the past years when we were forced to test in stairwells and even the gym. ALso we had problems when the other school ( Family Academy ) interfered with our school at times.
The Board Of Education needs to think things throughly before putting another school inside a school and think about how it can affect the children from the school body and how can it affect that childs willingnesss to learn in crowed classrooms. The Board OF Education needs to look at all of these empty lots and make schools out of them. I dont understand how they would take the time to invest money on a new stadium right a cross the street from the orginal in shuch a short time when they could of built probably two schools wroth as one. It's not just us OCS that education is a t risk but also other students whom school is within another school. They to lack lots or maybe more them we do. Maybe they dont have proper equipment, maybe they dont have a gym or maybe damaged places within the school. The Board Of Education needs to get their crap together because its not just me but other students as wellcare about their education and cant have this crisis now.
I'm currenty a OCS (Opportunity Charter School) student going to the 11th grade in 2 and a half weeks. I'm very disppointed to hear about this right before school starts. I strongly care about my education and I can't acept the fact that my education particularll is at risk. Jr. year is important because colleges look especially at your jr. year. Also I know we all will be fighting for the gym and especially durning afterschool the sports teams need the gym and now we"ll have limited of time to get it. But most of all I just cared about getting the right education needed without any problems with course limtied or lack of classromm space due to the Board Of Education.

Please help our school find a voice to prevent such actions happen and help our school fight for a higher education because this is a cirtical situation we are in....
