Columbia Public Schools, which frequently experiences overcrowding problems (particularly at the high schools), plans to build a fourth high school are going to be carried out soon. They recently purchased 40 acres (16 ha) and received 40 more in a donatation, making a total of 80 acres (32 ha) for the new high school, which is hoped to be built soon because the schools are getting desperate for room—some classes have up to 35 kids or more. Also, the board plans to reconfigure the amount of transfers students make to another school in their time with the school district. The plan currently being sought is to change from four transfers (elementary, middle, junior, high) to three (elementary, middle, high).

Famous quotes containing the word news:
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“Charles Foster Kane: Look, Mr. Carter. Here is a three-column headline in the Chronicle. Why hasn’t the Inquirer a three-column headline?
Carter: News wasn’t big enough.
Charles Foster Kane: Mr. Carter, if the headline is big enough, it makes the news big enough.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
