These businesses take up more and more of the campus’ space, leaving the playground and soccer field increasingly cramped. We want to
enable the school to find new sources of revenue without further reducing its physical space.

Because the school owns 10 acres of valuable real estate, it
has found it necessary to rent out the peripheral areas of
the campus in order to generate income. The school has
rented out portions of the land to several entities including a
small auto dealer, a plant nursery, and a neighborhood
tennis club with six courts.
