[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a best case scenario, Ed center could be gutted and remodeled to house a full pre-K to 8th grade Montessori program.  It would increase traffic but may resolve some of the complaints of the WL parents over a mega high school.  The entire career center site could be used for a 4th comprehensive high school.  There is no perfect solution.  [/quote]

The Ed Center could not be remodeled to be an elementary school (especially not one with over 100 preschoolers (3 and 4 year olds) attending.  It would need to be torn down and rebuilt.  I think Kenmore is the best option for a 4th high school, but if APS decides to locate it at the Career Center instead then I think they shouldn't split the seats.  They should commit to building a school at the Ed Center for the Montessori program and then use the entire Career Center / Henry campus for the high school.  That is not on the table though.  There is probably not enough money to build two new schools right now.  So the high school seats are going to be split and Henry will remain an elementary school.  In the long run, the split option is probably the worst one being considered because it will be the most expensive and won't fully utilize either site.  But again, APS is dead set against developing a long term, comprehensive plan for addressing capacity needs.[/quote]
