A small rural county has experienced unprecedented
growth over the past 6 years, and as a result, the local school dis-
trict built the new 500-student North Park Elementary School.
The district has three older and smaller elementary schools:
Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln. Now the growth pressure is
being felt at the secondary level. The school district would like to
build a centrally located middle school to accommodate students
and reduce busing costs. The older middle school is adjacent to
the high school and will become part of the high school campus.
a) What are the coordinates of the central location?
b) What other factors should be considered before building a
school?
