[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]
If the specialized program is only for in-boundary students, then that isn’t equitable. Ie, no pupil planning exists for out of boundary schools.

I’m not even arguing for it to be equitable, but the school board should revisit policy 8130 since equitable programming isn’t actually a goal of theirs.[/quote]
