Growing community, great schools, great people, another reason to Move into the Lammersville or Mountain House! Most individuals don't understand how public finance works, and grasschopper's comment highlights that. The funds being used to build the schools in LESD are from a certain pot of money that can only be used for school construction. Schools in LESD are built ONLY when growth matches the need. If you know anything about LESD, you would know that student population continues to grow, and the existing schools are at or exceeding capacity. Questa Elementary will be the 4th school in the District that serves over 1800 students and growing every day. The blurb about the new school left out all of that information even though it was all eluded to during the groundbreaking ceremony. It's a shame that it wasn't covered more extensively. Those at the ceremony were uplifted by the positive aspect of this project. It's a huge light in the dark tunnel of our current economic times. It's providing work in our community, hope to the residents, and another top notch educational institution in the school district with the HIGHEST Academic Performance Index in all of San Joaquin County. Let's take some time and celebrate something every once in a while. This is a wonderful thing that's happening in our corner of The Valley!

grasschopper, this isn't the TUSD, it is the LESD. Schools in Mountain House are built-out as-needed, as-per the master plan. Funds for the elementary schools are provided by Mountain House tax dollars and developer contributions. Tracy doesn't pay a dime toward this school, so it won't affect their bottom line.

What? Read the other article about TUSD school facing layoffs. The article says California is becoming insolvent. The dollar fell sharply and gold is over $1200 dollars. I hope they kept the receipts for the shovels. A sign in a pawn shop said will buy or lease gold for 60 days. The owner told me, "most people don't ever come back to purchase their gold necklaces because the price doubles in half a month." We living in a dream?
