The seat siting document includes Quincy Park in the size of WL campus.  Without Quincy park, WL is about 14 acres.  The entire Career Center/Arlington Mill/ Patrick Henry site is about 12 acres.  [/quote]

How does it make sense to include the Patrick Henry space?

I think including Quincy is a little deceptive, but W-L does use that space for sports practice. [/quote]

Because if you want a 4th comprehensive high school at the Career Center site, then the PH building will have to be demolished.  If you don't think the Patrick Henry building should be demolished, then i agree, there isn't enough room at the Career Center to build a 4th high school.   It seems to me that if we as a community want a 4th comprehensive high school, then some group will have to move no matter which site you choose.

Students at the Career Center site (should it be built into a 4th comprehensive HS) could also walk 3 blocks to TJ Park for baseball, soccer, and tennis. [/quote]

But that's not the current plan. And, as PPs have pointed out, if you tear down Henry, you have to find a new space for all those incoming Montessori students starting in 2019. I'd be fine demolishing it and using the site (though it would still be smaller and walking to TJ means a "less than" school) but that's not currently what anyone is discussing.[/quote]
