Beyond this ES discussion, I was glad to see in the HS options under consideration that included a comprehensive school at the Kenmore site.  [/quote]

Wasn't a new school at this site rejected once before? What exactly is the proposal--to build an additional school, or to turn Kenmore into a high school? Or by "comprehensive," do you mean to turn Kenmore into a 6-12 school?[/quote]

The suggestion is that they add the 1300 seats on the Kenmore site as a smaller comprehensive school for now. In one FAC meeting I attended it was suggested that they could then potentially in the future move the middle School and expand the HS on that site.[/quote]

Another bad idea from the amateurs running this show.[/quote]

I don't think turning Kenmore into a HS is a bad idea. Seems we'd have better luck finding a spot for a new middle school than finding acreage for a new high school. [/quote]

I agree.  This seems to be the one way to work toward a 4th comprehensive HS.  There really isn't another big piece of land to accommodate that.  Right now there is only funding to build 1300 seats but they know more will be needed in several years so better to actually think ahead for one and set it up to allow for expansion in this spot rather than going through this whole headache again.  And if they can acquire the VA Hospital site on Carlin Springs then there is a close place to move the MS.  [/quote]
