[quote=Anonymous]Did anyone watch the Virtual Community Q & A last night, discussing the CIP?  Did anything interesting come out of it?

Tonight is the Joint Work Session with the County, tomorrow night is the hearing.  Here is the PowerPoint for tonight:

Here is a fact sheet on the proposed plan:

And here is the rationale for the CIP, where APS states the alternative to this plan is to do nothing to address middle school capacity  :roll:   Meanwhile, no other building projects were considered or presented.  It's all option seats or nothing, apparently.

There is still no budget.  No transparency yet on how much it will cost to tear down the Montessori elementary school and give them a remodeled version of the existing CC.  Budget will come right at the end, just before a vote is taken.

Middle school seats are desperately needed and APS is banking on 625 MS students selecting these option programs (Arl Tech and Montessori).  The HB middle school program is a fraction of that size, and the Montessori MS program has been shrinking over the past several years because parents have expressed that their students arrive at HS unprepared.[/quote]
