[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colocation was definitely initially offered by Save Shaw people... which was strange because their main critique of Cardozo was... collocation.

That being said, I think upon further study people realized this wasn’t practical given the space.

Still- it sounds like there is an opportunity to find a compromise solution. I hope they can find one all parties can find appealing.[/quote]

Colocation with Banneker would include being a separate school with a separate principal, and Banneker is a well-functioning school.  Colocation with Cardozo means a constant churn of APs and the middle school always coming second to the overwhelming demands of the high school.  The middle school would never get enough attention or be allowed to keep its own budget.[/quote]

So you’ll be fine with staying at Cardozo provided you have your own principal right? That seems like the best and cheapest solution. [/quote]

No, it has to be fully a separate school so that the high school cannot have access to the middle school's funding.

Also, Cardozo EC as it currently exists is projected to hit its building capacity in 10 years.  If the middle school were to improve, more IB kids would attend and the cap would be reached even faster.  So staying in that building is not a long-term plan.  If the process for Shaw MS starts now, then the building will be ready when it is needed.[/quote]
