[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we know if the only options are either a fourth high school or attending high school in shifts. I don't think so. On the W-L PTA survey I supported the 9th grade academy. Is that still in play?

I agree that the county and the school board need to work together on this issue. [/quote]

The draft proposal from the superintendent has [u]a number of smaller fixes including 300 additional seats at Yorktown and Wkaefield, some redistributing and other small improvements[/u]. The total seats however is still only 1,200, far shy of the needed amount. [/quote]

These things can be done with existing capital reserves (they don't need new bond money) and add a lot more seats in the short term -- so they should ALSO be done. This isn't either/or.[/quote]

Agreed.  BUT, those smaller fixes don't totally resolve the problem.  They still come up over 1,000 seats short without a new school.

Of course, they could always add another 500-1,000 kids at HB Woodlawn and make it a comprehensive-sized HS.   Nah.... can't touch the golden calf.   :roll: [/quote]
