[quote=Anonymous]The easiest ask is to get Cardozo middle school its own principal. That is so much cheaper than building and staffing a new school. Then work with that principal to get the grade level/advanced classes and extracurriculars. Raise money for the school. Help recruit great teachers. Have a good social-emotional curriculum and discipline program.

Step 2: Get Francis-Stevens to just be PK3-5 and move the middle schoolers to Cardozo, along with the best middle school teachers there. This makes the Cardozo feeder pattern much stronger by adding Ross, Thomson, and SWW (which could send more kids each year if the school had larger elementary grades). A school with 6 feeders (though Ross is tiny and Cleveland's dual-language track has right to MacFarland, so it's more like 5 schools) is big enough to offer a decent range of classes, athletics, arts, etc. It would also help SWW and Francis Stevens....it is absolutely absurd that there is a single principal handling PK3-12 on two different campuses, one with a boundary and one city-wide and selective.[/quote]
