Op, a better idea would be for mommy to let her kid walk to school at Coolidge. How many parents that drop off live within blocks of the school? Problem solved, money saved.
As for the baseball lot? Hell, my kid played there and I walked from Coolidge or the high school lot. Why can't people do that now? LAZY!!!
That lot is probably costing the school over $40,000 to build. For what? A three month long sport, that's what. I'd rather see them put that money into the lot at Worthen School. Don't get me wrong, they can spend as much as they want on sports in the good years. But don't do it now and then tell all of us there's no money for other things.
Sorry my friend, gotta disagree with you on this one.
