[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But, with all that is going on budget wise, they are still making another middle school? When is it expected to open? I'm sure that this is just to appease white parents who live in the area and don't want to send their kids to Cardoza or Macfarland or Lincoln. All of that talk about neighborhood schools. Why not try to fix the current middle schools? [/quote]

Because Cardozo middle/high combo is going to outgrow its building in 10 years or so.  There is not a lot of space in nearby middle schools as they are mostly on growth trajectories as well.  So they need to be thinking about it now in order to have a building ready when it is needed.  If they did "fix" Cardozo middle school in its current location, that would attract more students and hasten the need for more space.[/quote]

Also Howard Middle School charter is on a PIP and likely to be shut down.  That may increase Cardozo's enrollment.[/quote]

What is a PIP? I have heard for years that Howard is likely to be shur down. It seems to be rumning strong. [/quote]

Performance improvement plan.  Their charter was reviewed this winter and some conditions were attached.  The board will probably pass them along if they continue not being totally crappy, but that is what happened this winter.  No way is it running strong, their test scores suck.[/quote]
