[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the pp misunderstood the WL guy. [b]My kids won't be at that school, but I do think a 4,000 student school is a very bad idea.[/b]  Even if APS increases IB and adds other programs,, WL will still be their home school. Thanks means 4,000 kids FS for 1 sports team, 1 school play, 1 debate team, etc. it will be hurt the students and this dumb 9th grade academy is just a way to make parents this their kid is getting a special deal when they are really just getting cheated out of a regular HS experience.

Maybe your kids aren't the right ages for when this wave of kids hits hs but others do realize that this isn't based on the current hs boundaries right?  Earlier slides mention that if it is an additional 1300 seat sc[b]h[/b]ool the[b]y[/b][b] would draw equally among the 3 hs zones [/b]with the kids returning back to their neighborhood school for sports-like hb does now.  Or if they turned it into a 9th grade academy it would [b]not[/b] be limited to just wl zoned 9th graders.[/quote]

Sorry. Fixed above text. Typing on phone.[/quote]

9th Grade academy for W-L students only, per senior staff at the meetings. So these 1300 seats will make W-L a mega school if the 9th grade academy option is selected, and they won't help the other two schools with overcrowding in the future. But don't worry, we won't need buildings at all by then. Kids are just going to do everything online. Why spend all the money that could be devoted to other causes on schools? Right? [/quote]

Yeah they day that but are you sure that the amount of freshman would double only for those currently inbound for wl.  I highly doubt that is the case.  Rembe how they fucked up the numbers more than once for the hs boundary in January and now it looks like yorktown will be way overcrowded even with moving the least amount of students out of WL starting this fall?  To create a 9th grade academy they will most likely need to do something similar to the last fiasco.[/quote]
