Staff at the schools will be ecstatic if/when the consortia go away.

Why do you say that?[/quote]

It is extremely difficult to overcome the challenges of having so many students coming from various areas, both from a vertical articulation standpoint and getting the community to support the school.

High school counselors and administrators, in an ideal situation, work closely with their feeder middle schools to ensure smooth transitions to high school. It's much easier to do with one or two middle schools where almost every student goes to the same high school. Much more challenging when there are so many middle schools and they are split between either three or five high schools.

Getting students to participate in after school activities is a challenge when transportation is a challenge in the consortia.

The families and community are not connected to the consortia schools to the degree they are in the community schools.[/quote]

I wonder if these issues will now be spread throughout the county with the regional model though. Maybe they should just focus on having a core set of AP/IB classes actually offered at each school.
