[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI.  MPSA can stay in the Patrick Henry building until the old Career Center building is renovated.  The program doesn’t need swing space.  The new Career Center building is being built adjacent to MPSA and will not affect MPSA operations.[/quote]

That's the current plan without the swing space available. If this proposal is approved, they can revisit the CC plans because fitting that building to suit Montessori costs so much more than just fitting a regular elementary. MPSA wants a full k-12 program, or at least K-8; and I don't think they really want to do that at that site.  Just saying, it's a possibility that plans will change a bit and I wouldn't be surprised. Moving MPSA off-site could facilitate the redevelopment of that site.[/quote]

There is zero reason for Montessori to have a k-12 program.  I don’t even think there is a reason for them to have a middle school. But we know APS and school board members like to chase the next shiny thing. [/quote]

Montessori is not the next "shiny" thing. It's catering to the Montessori people and shutting them up. I don't ever see enough interest for a high school montessori program. I think there would be more interest in 6-8 if it were co-located with the pre-K to 5 program; but still not enough to justify it. I wonder what each school board member really, truly thinks about the public Montessori program.[/quote]
