[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just have to ask Lee parents – are you really ok with WLA co-locating with your space? I am totally happy for Lee that it got a great space, but I worry it came at the expense of co-locating with a school that is a total unknown.  I spent some time reading WLAs charter – have any Lee parents done this yet? This is a school whose operating principles, particularly when it comes to discipline, seem at odds with a Montessori model.  The children being targeted for recruitment are 9th graders from wards 7 and 8 who are at-risk youth with behavioral issues and require remedial education.  This school being co-located with Lee could make the whole campus an area that attracts some serious hanging out and loitering issues.  Are Lee parents worried? Has the school talked to parents about this issue? Meetings with WLA?  I would be very concerned about how being co-located with a school targeting at risk teens will impact Lee’s future recruitment efforts, as well as retention efforts. I just worry that the good news about Lee getting a great space is overshadowing the bigger issue of an unknown high school sharing the space.  [/quote]

Yup.  I'm ok with it.  See LAMB/Perry Street Prep.
