[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it means Woodlin and Flora Singer kids get screwed, is what it means.

At least the current SSIMS families like it and wanted to stay... we will get sent against our will to a crumbling building with teachers who are constantly looking for other jobs and live through the last gasps of SSIMS when they finally decide to close it.  All for the charade of "Board independence" and "community involvement" when they're clearly just going to close SSIMS anyway and just want to kick the decision down the road a little.[/quote]

They could just leave SSIMS, Sligo, Eastern, and Takoma Park boundaries as they are now, until they know what will happen with SSIMS.[/quote]

I don't think they can because of their stupid regional obsession.  My understanding is that it is already pre-decided that Arcola is in region 1 and Odessa Shannon is in region 3, meaning that they have decreed that Arcola kids cannot go to Odessa Shannon anymore and instead must go to a region 1 middle school like Sligo or Newport Mill.

They definitely can't send all the Arcola kids to Sligo and also keep all the current kids there.  Maybe if they split the Arcola kids between Sligo and Newport Mill they can fit them in without overcrowding Sligo too much?  I dunno.

(Or they could of course just decide that it's okay for Arcola to cross "regional boundaries" for a few years, but I'm not holding my breath on that one...)[/quote]

They could proceed with some version of the Sligo addition project, to make room for Arcola.[/quote]
