I'd have to say Jacob has a good idea also.
When constrained beyond capacity, you have to set priorities somehow, you'll never get everyone to agree, so a lottery is probably random enough to be fair.

Here is another problem with students parking off campus (in the vacant lot beside the school). Because their vehicle is not parked on the school, that means that the parked cars are not subject to searches without a warrant.

| I dont understand the problem with that since the car is not on school property. You want kids to park on school property just so their car can be searched? If someone wants to bring something to school with the intent of doing harm, I dont think they are going to stop at the school property border and say "oh i better park out here with my AK instead of driving right up to the door with it. Anyway,.. I dunno.

| Yes, but I think that may well be why some people choose to park off campus.... To avoid the risk. And if they have something in their car they want to offer to someone else, they are taking less of a risk if they are not on school property...

The problem with assumptions are these; we sometimes believe what we have heard instead of what we actually know. Students who park off campus should know that regardless of whether they park off campus or on campus they are subject to the law. I am sure OP could get the permission from the owner to be on his property. The owner has told me that he does not allow all of the students parking to be on his property and will not allow it next year. Most of the students parking on his property did so without permission which places them in a trespassing kind of state. Now who is subject to search? I guess it would be the students who are on his property without permission. Does he have reason to request a tow truck to remove students and can those cars towed be inventoried by law enforcement and the towing company. My guess is yes. Protection comes with permission and no assumptions. Has anyone as an officer about such things?

Hey Yall,
Today I heard that parking for the remainder of the year will be open to all who drive since the Seniors are gone. And the rumor about the parking situation for next school year will be that the Seniors will register first and foremost, then the remainder of spaces will be given to zero period Juniors. Spaces left after that will be put in a lottery and given to the names chosen. Again, there are only a little more than 700 spaces on campus for students. This tells me one or two things. Everyone will not get a space and or the criteria for keeping a space will be tightened.
I dont see things getting better since the population of students is still growing. Come on Northern High!!!!!!

It won't get any better until we have proper infrastructure to support the numbers... I am afraid that even with Northern taking the 500 students from us, there will still be issues at NW.

DToney,
You seem very concerned about Northwest High but also mention that you work full-time so think you cannot volunteer. I hope you will reconsider that. While some PTSA volunteers (and volunteers in other areas -- band, sports, etc) do not work outside the home, more and more people have AT LEAST one job in order to maintain the lifestyle they want. Some still find ways to be involved, whether that is working on a committee, or volunteering to help with one particular project, etc. I would encourage you to get involved at whatever level you can, because it will help you to better see for yourself how things are done while you learn more about the school itself. It will also benefit your child, and of course, it will benefit the school and our community. Many times people don't realize they have a lot to offer when in reality they do.... It may just require a little creative thinking and scheduling in order to make it happen. I hope you will give it a try!
