[quote=Anonymous]The opt out option makes sense to me. People who are worried about programs being available at the school the day that it opens will have the choice to stay at their current school. This allows people worried about sports or the arts and option. If they chose their current school, they stay there for four years.

If kids opt in to the school, they will be allowed to play a sport at their base school if it is not available at the new school. Once the sport becomes available at the new school, they will have to play at the new school. I don't see many people taking advantage of this. Maybe SLHS families who want AP, so they want to attend the new school but play sports at SLHS because the sport is not available at the new school. By Junior year, the sport might be available at the new school, and they might have to switch schools. Just an example that makes sense to me.

If kids opt in to the school and don't care as much about sports and the like then no worries.

Three years from now, there is no opt in option. Sixth graders will have to attend the new school. They can try and pupil place if they want to attend a different school, but parents provide transportation.

The only thing that makes no sense to me is the lack of boundaries by January. This push to wait until June is ridiculous.[/quote]
