I am a parent of 2 students at North Lewis school, and I would like to know why, with all of the property in the front of the new school, we have a parking lot that holds an estimated 30-40 cars! There are over 700 students in that school! There is so much property that is left to just look pretty. Magnolia and CaneView have twice the amount of "non-teacher" parking at their schools. As well, with the parking they have put, there is no walkway to get from the parking lot to the entrance, visitors must walk all the way around the parking lot, through the car line! How are they supposed to have Grandparents Day, performance events, Open house, etc for 700+ students with the same amount of parking they had last year? At least last year we could see they did not have land to place parking lots, now there is plenty, and it's just going to be grass! We are back to parking down Andre Street and in the medical parking lots! And even better, the teachers use the new area so they don't have to worry about getting out of carline, but this takes up visitor parking during events, and we as visitors are NOT allowed to park in their designated parking spaces. Who designed this parking lot and why did they choose to do it this way?

Would parents be encouraged to park on the new grass (expected to be planted) in front of the school if there isn't enough visitors parking for school functions?

Before complaining about the amount of spots at NLE, check to see how much money was allocated for the building of that facility. Maybe the money was spent elsewhere, like providing a better school building rather than parking. "

Parking was a problem at the old school because the teachers would park behind a parents car blocking them in because you were in their parking space. This has happened to me twice when going in for a teacher-parent conference during school hours. "

Maybe the IPSB could use the school board millage renewal tax that was passed last month, to pay for more parking in front or on the side of, the new school.
A large covered play area for the kids to play outside also would be very nice. The large shady oak trees are now outside the fenced in play ground.
There is currently no place for kids to play in the shade anymore when the sun will become very hot again. "
