[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone keeps bringing this up like a broken record. The PTAs of W-L and all the feeder schools voted to support the school’s expansion. This was after APS determined there was no place to build a fourth high school due to robust community opposition at all the proposed sites. The expanded W-L opened last year with a nice new facility, and the school has run smoothly since then. I don’t know what criticising the school’s size will do now. Maybe there’s some regret that people didn’t push hard enough for the fourth high school at Kenmore? [/quote]

We need to keep pushing for a high school and Kenmore; I certainly continue to write our school board.

WL is currently only 2500 students. They are rolling in about 150 kids a year to get to 2800. We can see how smooth it is with 300 more students. Booking frog and all…[/quote]

There will be no fourth high school at Kenmore, or anywhere else while our kids are enrolled here. APS is 100% out of money. It's out of bonding capacity. The career center won't come in on budget, and Montessori still "needs" $45 million in renovations for the old career center. If you want an additional high school, the time to do something about it was 2017. The only hope now is that enrollment declines across the board. [/quote]

I was pushing for high school at Kenmore since 2012. They got caught by surprise by demographic dip in early 2000s, and they expect us to return to that trend, but it’s a big gamble. [/quote]
