Nearly 80% of Pocono Mountain students could soon attend school within the impact radius of a hyperscale data center. That is not an exaggeration, and it should stop every parent, taxpayer, and elected official in this region. Based on current district enrollment numbers, roughly 3,520 students on the East campus, about 3 miles from the Pocono Manor property, 2,203 students on the West Sullivan Trail campus, about 1.8 miles from the proposed site, and students in the communities that feed Tobyhanna Elementary Center near the separate Glacial Till project outside of the Arrowhead lake community are now part of a much bigger question about what kind of development we are allowing around our schools. Altogether, about 6,274 of our 7,911 and growing number of students, nearly 80% of the entire district, could be directly or indirectly affected by hyperscale data center development within our community. These are not dots on a map.
