[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]If it's only a 1300 seat school, why can't it be a choice program? [/b] 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]

I asked this exact in the survey. It seems like they were making two of the options intentionally less attractive, so they'd have data showing community support for their decision to ultimately build at the Ed Center site. [/quote]
