399 Apartments at Technology Park
May 19, 2008 | 09:20 AM

Putting apartments at Technology Park is a bad idea. They will add between 161 to 178 students to our schools, according to the School Board, and compound the traffic problems on Medlock Bridge Road. Technology Park should be used for business locations to provide employment opportunities in our community, not more apartments!

Actually, the reason our schools are so good is not money. It is the education level of the parents and how educated parents tend to push their children more towards education (some argue it's genetically based also). South Fulton schools receive the same per-student funding, sometimes more due to increased special-needs students, yet I would never want to be a student at most south Fulton schools. It is not race, it is not money, quality of schools is almost entirely based on the education of the parents. A more educated person does not necessarily make more money. Teachers are very well educated and will definitely pass those values to their children, but very very few public school teachers could afford a home in Alpharetta.

But you miss the point. The tax base here pays for the schools. Black, white, asian, hispanic, if you can afford to live here in the homes you describe, then you should have the priviledge of attending our schools.

The apartments are a major mistake.

Yeah! We only want rich white kids going to our schools. If you can't afford a $850,000 home than your kids do not deserve a good education.
