[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't that argue for any future ES seats at the Ed Center being neighborhood then, and the new school being built in S Arlington being a replacement for Henry / Montessori. Maybe on the Kenmore campus?[/quote]

Any seats at the Ed Center are going to be temporary, not permanent; it's being designed as swing space. For that reason, it makes more sense (assuming the timing works) to move Montessori there when Henry gets torn down until they have a permanent space for Montessori developed because they don't have to redrawn neighborhood boundaries to accomplish this. If they move neighborhood seats into the Ed Center for two or three years, that means two additional and needless boundary redrawing processes.[/quote]

Wait, so Henry is going to be a temporary home and then the Ed Center is going to be a temporary home? That's ridiculous and unfair. And how much money will be wasted on this? You can't have an ES without a library, gym, cafeteria, playground. You're going to put those at the Ed Center temporarily? Please.[/quote]

It's not a definite, it's just a possibility that's being floated if necessary. APS is in a real bind with its capacity crunch and there are no great solutions that the SB is just ignoring here, especially given how hamstrung it is by county funding decisions.[/quote]
