The impact of federally connected students is in direct proportion to the number of students we have, not a percentage," Supt. Welling said. RESIDENTS in the area are opposed to the construction of additional multiple dwellings and have asked the planning commission to rezone the area for residential single-famil- y growth as it was before the adoption of the master plan.
