[quote=Anonymous]For all the discussion there has been about options school revisions and the new choice school I am surprised no one is talking about the school board work session last night.  This is what I think I heard-
1. They are proposing to eliminate neighborhood preference for all options schools- admission would be solely by lottery.
2. They are considering opening Reed as a IB elementary school.  If I read this slide consistently with the earlier presentation, I would assume that it would make it an options school, with no neighborhood.
3. They are considering 3 different high school options.  A 1) 9th grade academy/IB school at the Education Center; 2) A 'comprehensive' high school at Kenmore; 3)A neighborhood/build out of Arlington Tech at the Career Center.
4. I had some trouble reconciling the first presentation on options policy and the second presentation on rethinking the instructional model.  For example, in the second presentation it appeared to have Campbell as a neighborhood school- I wasn't sure if they were getting rid of it as an option b/c it didn't fit their model, or what.
