Including 9th grade in all Puyallup School District High Schools may or may not improve student performance.?

Including 9th grade in all Puyallup School District High Schools may or may not improve student performance. The problem is space. There’s absolutely no room in the high schools to add to the population. But of course the school board believes they have come up with these brilliant ideas to get beyond this problem. The district could throw away money, to add more portables or remodel the buildings that have stood for years to accommodate the additional students. Or, an extended school day. If extended school days were to take place, not only would there be one long day at school, but two shifts, 7:00 am- 2:00 pm and 10:00 am- 5:00 pm. At one point through the day, from 10:00 am- 2:00 pm, every student would attend at the same time. And the last option for this outrageous plan would be evening academies. Where it would be a normal school day, plus evening academies, meaning students would meet at RHS from 3:00 pm- 7:00 pm, and would have a particular focus for that time, perhaps online school. All these are possible solutions, but I don’t see the problem. So why take the risk of changing the whole district, when there are no facts proving this would better student’s performance in our community, when it could be left the same. As of now, until there are any legitimate facts stating any of these options would be better than the regular, k-6, 7-9, and 10-12th grade schooling, leaving the Puyallup school District the way it is now is the best option for everyone.
