[quote=Anonymous]Meren’s reply to comments on FB regarding her news letter.

“ The planned opening in fall 2026 would not *require* students to attend. As such, I say in my newsletter that students would not be “assigned” to attend. I can see now how that could be confusing, but I hope this clarifies it.

While plans on identifying the boundary are expected to continue in the spring, I’ve seen the agenda and dates of Board meetings change so often during this process, that I’ll wait to see where things are at.

The Chair and Vice Chair facilitate the Board’s schedule and agenda of work, and are responsible for confirming information with the Superintendent and among Members for the whole Board to rely on. My goal throughout this process has been to relay what I know, first hand, to the best of my abilities.

Confusion continues to exemplify to me the need to slow down this approach, and I remain steadfast in not supporting assigning or requiring students to attend the Western HS in fall 2026. It seems reasonable to allow families the choice to voluntarily place their students there for available programming, but I don’t yet know what that would look like nor the cost to do so. I’m eager to know more.

I hope this is helpful.”

She is walking back her email and saying that they won’t require kids attend the new school but that it will open in 2026? That is what Reid has been saying and seems to counter her email. The confusion about the open date comes from her email, not from anything that Reid has said. [/quote]
