Just Make Lucy Beckham a High School

Does it ever seem that the Charleston County School District makes a big show of soliciting community input in regard to actions that the community really doesn't care about and then ignores input when the community does care?

Such is the case with the scheduled events to ask if Lucy Beckham High School should begin as a ninth and tenth or go whole hog at the beginning and include the eleventh and twelfth grades. 

"Beckham High will be the second public high school in Mount Pleasant, helping to relieve overcrowding at Wando High, which is projected to serve more than 4,700 students by 2020. When the planned $94 million Beckham campus opens in the southwestern part of town at Whipple and Mathis Ferry roads, it will have a capacity of 1,500 students."

If it's relieving overcrowding, perhaps it should do that at every grade level.

Duh.
