[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why on earth do we need a huge preschool space at a high school?[/quote]So Merin can claim there just isn’t space to redistrict  kids from South Lakes.[/quote]

It’s Meren and she’s one of the only School Board members asking the right questions these days.  [/quote]
Yeah, her idea to put a pre-school at a high school is totally the normal thing to do.  Don't you remember all those 4 year olds running around the place back when you went to high school?[/quote]

That is about taking advantage of existing, customized space at KAA, as opposed to ripping it apart and retrofitting space that was originally constructed less than a decade ago. [/quote]

+1 it’s a good idea to take advantage of a space that’s already there and doesn’t have to be remodeled. The preschool programs take up a lot of space especially if they have special needs kids (there is a half day program and a full-day/half-day mix for kids with more restrictive IEP’s/needs) where the ratios need to be lower. They are in regular sized classrooms the same as a K-6 class, but there are probably only 8-10 kids in a class vs. the 25 or so you’d see in an elementary class. So it takes a lot more physical space. And not every ES has room for a preschool program, so there’s a fair bit of bussing going on to get kids to a preschool program - so I could definitely see them wanting to expand preschool wherever possible.
