MacWilliams said the school and community have grown much more quickly thananticipated. That prompted community members to come together and begin expansion plans.

'Rather be proactive'

"We're just at the cusp of where it's going to begin to be a problem," she said. "So we'd rather be proactive and try to get some planning underway, knowing that capital or infrastructure projects can take quite some time."

At the meeting, the group will make a presentation and askfor feedback from otherson the direction they want the facility to take.
