The proposed downsizing of Glasgow — and the anger it has sparked among parents — underscores a dramatic shift in the region’s largest school district, where the rapid student growth of the past decade appears to have come to an abrupt end.

This article mentions the West Springield Pyramid Solutions Coaltion (WSPSC), but doesn’t mention that the school board in the Lee, West Springfield and Lake Braddock boundary review wants to move students from undercapacity Lee HS to West Springfield and make West Springfield overcapacity. In light of this article where is the logic? The school system is loosing students why do they need to make one high school overcrowded?
