[quote=Anonymous]The devil is the details.

DCPS has promised that SWW high school would not be hurt by the proposed merger.  However, SWWHS is already sharing a principal with the principal having to spend more of his time with FS out of necessity.  SWWHS would like to have a principal or an associate principal who can make decisions independent of the principal when he is at the FS campus.

The budgets have been combined.  FS is under enrolled and will have a budget shortfall and SWW high school parents wonder if the high school budget will suffer.  Couple that with the fact the DCPS gave up title one funds with the proposed merger and the SWWHS HSA has worked very hard to raise funds when there is a shortfall at the high school.

Also because FS is under enrolled the FS parents are pushing very hard for SWWHS students to have classes at FS to legitimize their school, which is almost a mile away crossing busy avenues and a circle. High school students do not want to make the trek to go to school with small children and SWWHS students are just that, high school students, who experiment with language and talk about subjects inappropriate for smaller children.  DCPS has suggested a bus to take students back and forth which may cost as little as 80k a year.

Only the tip of the details ice berg.
