[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]Campbell as a neighborhood school-[/b] I wasn't sure if they were getting rid of it as an option b/c it didn't fit their model, or what.

I noticed that, too. Why not make it a countywide school like ATS?[/quote]
