[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has convinced me that a choice program at W-L at the ed center might not be that bad -- if they set it up as a completely separate school that shared the same campus.  There would still be contention for shared resources such as the cafeteria and gym but at least there would be equity for extra curriculars.  The ninth grade academy is definitely not equitable/fair for W-L kids, having a HB like program there though might be.  [/quote]

How about putting one of the soon-to-be-needed ESs there, making the W-L site as much like the Kenmore site as possible? Only with the school playground less conveniently located (across the street at the existing playground? Via bridge to the Buck site, depending on what happens there?[/quote]

There are no plans to use the Buck site for school space/playgrounds etc.  Unfortunately, there are pipes and gas mains underneath the property which don't allow for such use.  I've heard they may sell it to someone or use it for bus storage, etc.  While it might be ok for HS students to cross that busy intersection had the site been usable, I doubt many school officials or parents would be cool with locating an elementary playground across the street.[/quote]
