[quote=Anonymous]As a parent at the HS, no one knows exactly how the merger or partnership will look in the future. DCPS proposed the merger without a plan for implementation and without any notice to the HS- DCPS only worked with FS on the proposed merger. For the upcoming school year, the schools will share a principal and other administrative staff, but the campuses will not be shared. The overwhelming majority of the HS faculty, students and parents share many concerns about the future of the HS and the impact of the merger. This concern has been misinterpreted by FS - no one at the HS wants FS to fail, but many ideas that have been put forth about implementing this merger - such as splitting up grades and sending small groups of HS students and staff to FS for 3x a week- simply do not work with HS schedules. This is but one of many concerns HS parents have- another being one principal for 2 schools who both need full time attention. There will be a lot of work in the upcoming year to figure out how this whole thing will work out. Right now, there are many more questions than answers.[/quote]
