[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why isn't this being done in conjunction with the seats going to the Career Center? Does W-L get first dibs and then the Career Center gets the runner-up program? Or did they already decide that the Career Center seats are going to be folded into Arlington Tech, in which case both STEAM academy/Early College at W-L seems redundant. [/quote]

I don't know why these aren't being done at the same time. The website doesn't say much except it looks like the decisions will be made for the Ed Center first. I didn't attend the meeting last night--I only streamed it afterward--and I don't recall any mention of the Career Ctr.

There were incredibly few ppl there last night from what I could see. I didn't even know this was haopening until I randomly saw a tweet about it.[/quote]

At the beginning there were a number of neighborhood baby boomers complaining about traffic.  Only about 5 or so actual current parents of APS students were present.  Unfortunate since this is hugely important, but my guess is so many people are focused on the MS boundaries and are stretched thin.[/quote]

I rolled my eyes so hard at the traffic comments. So sick of them. And not even remotely germane to the discussion.[/quote]

Seriously, they come to every meeting.  I saw them at the Statford middle school planning meetings, the high school capacity meetings; they are essentially retired, so why does traffic even bother them?

but honestly, no one goes b/c almost all the parents were championing a comprehensive high school, at either Kenmore or VHC parcel, and all that input was ignored and we are supsersizing W-L.  It definitely feels like this is all for show, and that they already have made all the decisions before a drop of input comes in.[/quote]
