[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]

9th grade academy sounds like the worst of all possible options to me.[/quote]

The majority of parents liked it and the survey was sent to elementary and middle school parents too. [/quote]

So you mean the survey that was only given to current and future W-L families? My understanding is that the majority of W-L parents liked the idea of a 9th grade academy, just for W-L. Sure, you don't want to be rezoned and you want an academy to avoid that. We get it. But your HS isn't the only one that will be overcrowded and we need a real comprehensive solution for the 1,000 plus seat deficit that will occur across the board, even with internal renovations at Yorktown and Wakefield, and a W-L academy. We need another HS ultimately. A 9th grade academy for W-L is a temporary solution to a permanent problem. [/quote]
