[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you all catch the transportation slide? This confirmed the dcum rumor that students would need their own transportation to their home high school (earlier than the regular neighborhood bus) and then would ride to the program high school from there. That is actually worse than the current not-awesome magnet bus transportation set up. Only families who can accommodate this can consider these programs. [/quote]

Then they really need to set criteria-based programs in high-FARM HSs.[/quote]

They are thinking like consultants. They see that of the 400+ students in the current Blair SMCS program, only 37 are from Blair compared with 105 from Wootton and 77 from Churchill. In their minds, this is a supply and demand problem. It could not possibly be a result of their own failures.

They also haven't noticed that not too many kids from Whitman go to Blair. Why is this? Could it possibly be because Whitman already offers everything the kids there need and maybe they don't need any special programs?[/quote]
Good point. That should be the focus—putting additional SMCS and other special programs where there is demand for it. Not enact this byzantine money pit of a plan that will worsen inequity.[/quote]
