Great job. 
If you haven't taken the time to sign the petition, please do so. We've got some great momentum going.
Let's keep it up![/quote]

Or, if you object to diversity, do come to meetings and say that publicly.[/quote]

False dichotomy.  You are not against diversity if you don't want to lose the right to send your kids to neighborhood schools or see them bused to another part of the county when they should be able to attend a school closer to home.[/quote]

Sorry. We are a tiny county. You didn't get a school promised to you when you signed the deed to your house. The only thing that should be happening is equal quality and opportunities for all APS students. 
They need to draw lines vertically. It's the only way to get a mix. [/quote]

Does anyone know what type of choice school it is supposed to be?  This is such a freaking nightmare.

They can do that once they build a high school that's actually in the eastern part of the county. Until then, put a lid on it.[/quote]

They aren't going to build another high school.[/quote]

Correct. They are adding 1300 seats at the Ed Center. It will be a choice program. SB Members are already telling folks this in closed door meetings. There will be no 4th comprehensive HS. [/quote][/quote]

What does that even mean? What program would make kids want to go there as opposed to a normal high school?  Would the students be considered W-L students for purposes of sports and activities, or part of their base schools like HB?[/quote]

The idea I've heard floated is that the IB program could be moved to the ed center and expanded. Students would go home to their base schools for sports, as with HB.

This, of course, would draw even more white, well-off students away from Wakefield. It's a terrible idea.[/quote]
