[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why isn't Bridges, Bryia and...Creative Minds which has a large SN population (29%?)

It seems weird to outfit DCI which is just going to leave anyway when another school may need it.  Or, there is another school I've heard which has almost 40% SN kids.

It seems like this was just thrown together.  I'd probably sign it (and share) if it was just Bridges or had more logic.  But DCI (as a holding patter until their "good space" opens) turns me off of this.[/quote]

Because Creative Mind is also growing and nowhere in here is there a proposal for Bridges to merge with another school (be it CM or DCI).  So if Bridges also wants to grow through middle and maybe high school, and CM has the same plan, then how is there room to have TWO PreS3 - 12 schools in this same space?

DCI moving out gives Bridges the chance to get the space, share the rent for (most likely) 2 yrs, and during those years figure out the structure and funding to take over when DCI moves out or find other partners that will allow for their continued growth.  It makes sense.  But CM also wants to expand and I'm pretty sure that once they do their next move, they don't want to have to move again.  If CM is also in the running for Sharpe, unless someone produces a proposal that has them also sharing the space, it is simply a very different use.

I support Bridges getting it, and partnering with DCI if that is what makes it possible.[/quote]
