[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it obvious that consolidation is better?  A number of other charters in the city are replicating their programs and seem to be doing fine. Consolidating was certainly the vision of the Executive Director and the Principal, but was it also the vision of the Board?  We're relatively new and not as familiar with that part of the history.

By moving the school to Kingsbury, LAMB is closing themselves off from a lot of areas in the city and a lot of existing families.  Kingsbury appears to be a beautiful facility and I'm sure it will be nice.  This non-Ward 4 family is wrestling with the decision on what to do about the next school year and the delay in communications and answers from the administration just adds to the heartache.

You do save on overhead by consolidating to one location -- for starters custodial and support services (e.g. food service) will be cheaper. Support teachers - such as speech therapists, OTs, psychologists will not be running around town trying to support students in multiple buildings. You may need fewer assistant principals, people answering the phones and greeting -- which frees up resources for classrooms.

Again, they're not actually consolidating for years. [/quote]
