So it looks like ASFS has gotten substantially less "white." Good change.

More diversity in the form of minorities. YMMV.

Any report from last night?

Have they even suggested any specific choice school? Or are we still just debating choice vs neighborhood, with the specifics to follow? This thread gives lots of opinions of what would be ideal, but I'm having trouble separating that from what the actual proposals are (or are not).

The Superintendent recommended spending $43-65M to build a 725 seat ES at Reed. There is a predicted deficit of about 1,400 seats,

He also suggested spending only $33M on HS seats to give us only 1,200 of the predicted deficit of 2,775 seats.

At the previous closed SB meeting, the FAC told the SB to consider whether Reed would be a neighborhood or choice school. No decision was made.

I'm hoping that someone on the SB or FAC spoke up and said how it was nonsense to be spending that much on and ES when the HS situation is much more dire. Put the $$$ into the HS seats.

Isn't the issue that there is no site to build a new high school on? The money they are spending is to add seats to the existing locations for HS seats. If they had somewhere to build a HS, surely they would.

I think the recommendation was a wake up call to APS/ACB. I think they need to make the HS at VHC happen.

YES!!!

After talking with someone on the school board I'm convinced that despite their public stance that "all options are on the table," it's going to be a choice school.

Did they give any hint of whether we're talking about a new choice school or relocating an existing choice school????
