[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the board, nothing has been decided yet, so we can’t say anything about the site is “clear”. But it also doesn’t seem likely that they’ll make them choice seats at this point. None of the CIP planning scenarios involved adding choice seats to the CC; they all relied on making it neighborhood.

I’m just not sure that choice seats are the answer, regardless where you put them. What happens if they can’t fill them? Or if enrollment growth doesn’t flatten out just outside the ten year window? Then we’d be back where we are right now, needing to build another comprehensive high school but with $100 million less to work with.

I don’t care where the high school goes, personally. But not building a comprehensive one now seems like it would be more expensive in the long run. [/quote]

And does everyone actually understand WHY all the scenarios have those seats as neighborhood?  Because the Arlington Heights and Penrose advocates have been insisting on a neighborhood school from the beginning!!!!!  Well, they're likely to get their frickin' neighborhood school; but this demonstrates exactly why you need to be careful what you ask for, to advocate strategically, and to let the process (the working group) do its work.  Then, if you don't like it, object.  Despite their good intentions, these people have put the rest of us on the path to being screwed right along with them.[/quote]
