[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school board IS planning to build a 4th high school, just not a comprehensive school with fields and full facilities.  But it's current plan has funding for a school facility with 1,300 seats.

Personally, I think we need a 4th comprehensive school given the numbers we're looking at, but to say that the board isn't planning on building a fourth school isn't strictly true.[/quote]

that is  semantics. 
When people say they want a fourth high school, they are talking about the whole enchilada. I want to scream every time they mention 1300 seats coming on line. 
I am fine with the votech, as I think it will largely draw from underperforming Wakefield. They become less crowded, their scores go up, and more people are willing to give it a shot and not cram into WL. Sounds great. 
But it sounds great for other kids, certainly not mine.

I was at a classroom size hearing back in 2009.  I remember the Board acting like the increase in student population was a total surprise back then.  It was not.  Projections were continually showing how many more students /potential students were flooding APS.  Every few years the Board acts "astonished" that their projections were way off and even more seats are needed.  It's getting quite old at this point.  The faux surprise.  The pretense of making actual solutions.  Lack of Transparency.

The phony polls and online play systems are distractions from the real problems.  7 years later and things keep getting worse.
