School district director of in-
struction Harold Cox said the
district followed past practice
in deciding to have registration
on a certain date.

“We could have had a lot-
tery. It was a question of how

‘to do it fairly. This is the way

we register for French immer-
sion, by choosing a date,’’ he
said,

Cox and Hide said a rapid |

growth in the horseshoe’s pop-
ulation from new housing is in-
creasing the demand al Park-
side."

The .school. now holds just -
. under 200 students’ and that’s

about the maximum, they said.

“It's getting tougher and
tougher. We're not building
schools like we used to. We

_-don’t have the space available
