[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't get it why Kenmore has to be a neighborhood HS.  If it won't have all the ammenities in the beginning, why not make it an option school?  Then, those who don't care about a pool or would prefer a smaller school, can elect to go there.  It seems so obvious![/quote]

When it is first built as 1300 seats it won't be a neighborhood school. [/quote]

So the equity argument isn't valid.[/quote]

APS and the School Board have explicitly stated that IF the Kenmore or Career Center sites are chosen, they would have a defined boundary. I don't believe they have explained WHY it could not be a choice program in either of those locations, but that is what they have decided.  [/quote]

This makes no sense to me.  If it's only a 1300 seat school, why can't it be a choice program?  I get that we will need another neighborhood school,but if the budget only allows for a "less than" school at THIS time, making it choice makes sense.  Then, when they get more $/land, it can be converted to the full size and made into a neighborhood school.

This waiting until the next CIP idea is the same type of incompetence that got us in this situation.[/quote]
