[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else notice that none of the three new options send SSIMS students to Sligo? In all three, current SSIMS students go to either Eastern or TPMS. Begs the question of the size they are going to make eastern (presumably huge, which is terrible) and also puts in question the future of ms magnets. The only way they will have enough room to accommodate all those kids at eastern and TPMS is if they do away with the magnets. What a disaster this plan is. Why would they spend all that money to renovate Sligo if it won’t be taking on more kids? What will happen to language immersion if they close SSIMS? Did they come up with this entire plan —after— releasing the first two rounds of options? Taylor is ruining east county with this half baked idiotic plan.[/quote]

They're moving Arcola kids to Sligo so they're already at like 960-1070 kids (depending on the option) on a current capacity of 926.  I suppose they could take some more SSIMS kids when they expand to 1200, but not that many so it would mean split articulation (and make Sligo much higher utilization than most other middle schools.). Simpler to just send them to Eastern, which is at only about 1200-1300 kids in most of these options so not that much bigger.[/quote]
