So they will have fewer Assistant Principals per student body, despite the fact that such a large crowded school will likely have more discipline needs.

Students	AP
450	1
900	2
1350	3
1500	3.5
2000	4
2500	4
3000	4

Only 2 librarians for 3000 students, versus HB which gets 1 librarian per 700. Only 1 gifted teacher.

Thanks this clarifies a lot of how they are failing to plan for this large school.[/quote]

If you are going to complain, at least complain about something worthwhile.  I love librarians but I'd bet anything that the average HS student has about 10 minutes of interaction with their school librarian a year, if that. And a lot of WL students walk one block and use the Central Library instead of the school library since it has such better resources and space.   I am surprised there is even one gifted teacher at WL.  With all the differentiation in class levels (intensified, AP, DE, IB), there really is not much need for a gifted teacher.  I say that as a parent of a recent WL graduate who was designated as gifted in a couple subjects.  Perhaps the future assistant principal situation will be an issue but I am not the type to dwell on problems that do not yet exist.  I get the sense that you just want to be miserable.

That you think that is the extent of a librarians job speaks volumes to your lack of understanding of why short staffing multiple positions at what will be the largest school is something we should plan for rather than wait for “problems” to exist. But your kids are out of the system, so you really don’t care I suppose. [/quote]
