[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's interesting how a lot of the people on AEM and elsewhere who have been arguing vehemently for a fourth comprehensive high school are now losing their minds over the idea that a fourth comprehensive high school will mean sacrificing other projects. How did they think it would happen?[/quote]

I'm guessing they were really just thinking about land, or thinking that this would be easiest- not thinking about building cost.

I was sort of ambivalent/skeptical about the 4th HS prior to watching this- I am now firmly opposed.   
I moved into the 'no' camp after hearing that;
 1) they are only planning 800 neighborhood seats- that's a tiny amount of students to demand full HS amenities- especially the pool.
2) It would mean that other much needed projects could not be done.

We need a 4th high school that seats 2000 at Kenmore or VHC parcel. That was what was advocated before. The 800 career center with pool is a sham. [/quote]

Then we need to take that to the county board. The county board are the ones who rejected the idea of a use permit for a high school at Kenmore, and they are the ones purchasing the VHC parcel, not APS. And it's their JFAC that is making the determination of the use of the VHC parcel.[/quote]
