[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, if it turns out to be a traditional neighborhood high school with all the traditions and sports like football, dance team, homecoming, musical production, etc., but with a unique program focus in AI, Aviation, Aerospace, Robotocs, and STEM, I think most people would be happy. The specialized program would only be open to students in the school's attendance zone, and a limited number of transfers who provide their own transportation. We already have AP focused schools, IB oriented schools, so now we'll have an aviation/aerospace/ai/robotics/stem focused school.

The superintendent will get her unique program to boost her CV, and the  neighborhood will get their long awaited western high school. [/quote]

So much for equitable programming, I guess.

There is no equitable programing, plenty of schools have specialty programs. . The equity is supposed to come from kids being allowed to pupil place to gain access. Is there a reason your upset this school might have a specialty program?  Heck, they are inviting people to opt-in to the school, equity. [/quote]

No problem with that as long as they set up a real traditional high school with boundaries.  The delay in setting boundaries--particularly in light of the Comprehensive Boundary Study--makes me wonder if this is a deceptive way of making the school a magnet instead.  It would appear that would be "easier" for Reid and seems to be her preference.

Unfortunately, the area needs a real school--not a "model."[/quote]
