    Portal should become fifth middle school

    I'm writing my opinion for the Cupertino Union School District on the subject of the fifth middle school. I think that Portal should be the new middle school. Here are some reasons:

    If Portal is to be the new middle school, elementary school kids have to move from Portal to a closed school which will be opened at their arrival. With Collins as the new middle school, Collins' kids will go to Portal, and Portal kids will go to the other elementary school. So, if Portal is made the new school, not as many kids will have to move schools.

    At the board meeting, we looked over the Collins and Portal middle school schemes. From my point of view, the arrangement of classrooms at Portal looked as though you could get to your next class quicker and easier.

    Collins was a middle school a while ago, so why switch it back again? I think it makes a little more sense to make Portal the middle school.
