[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]

Mount Vernon High School has a pre-school program, "Little Majors."  It is an early childhood careers program for high school students to learn about careers in early childhood education.  The students run the preschool under the direction of a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher.  They've had the program for years - at least 20 years.  I live right by the high school and I remember hearing about the program in our neighborhood newsletter when my oldest was preschool aged.  The preschoolers only go to the program a couple of days a week for a couple of hours so it is not daycare.

MV also has a partnership with at least Riverside elementary school - the elementary school is right across the street from the high school.  There's an education course where the high school students go to Riverside and work in the classrooms with elemetary school students.  Again, they've been doing this for years.[/quote]
