Chugiak HS Overcrowding

Summary

View the complete results for this topic.

There is strong support for the idea of converting Gruening and Mirror Lake middle schools to include 9 th grade as possible solutions for Chugiak High overcrowding. 73.8% of respondents favor the idea, with only 17.4% opposing.

Bar graph of Gruening/Mirror Lake grade change support results: 39.5% Strong favor, 34.3% Mildly favor, 8.9% Neutral, 8.0% Mildly oppose, 9.0% Strongly oppose

There is larger, but less strong support for continuing use of portable classrooms – 78.4% of respondents support portables, but the majority of the support is mild, indicating perhaps that it is viewed by many as being a temporary, and not ideal solution.

Double shifting does not go down well, opposed by 51.9% of respondents

One concern - The questioning on this issue indicated that these potential solutions would be necessary in the short term even if a new high school is approved. One issue to be considered is the future effect on a high school bond proposition if the Gruening/Mirror Lake change is enacted. There is a possibility that the grade change would be perceived as a permanent solution, particularly by people outside of Eagle River/Chugiak, and reduce support for a future high school bond.
