[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. This is great and creative thinking on the part of the staff. I like this quite a bit. Helps S. Arl. schools like Randolph. Gets rid of the ridiculous hodge podge of choice options. Creates the possibility of a real high school at Kenmore. Love this.[/quote]

Ditto.  Definitely needs some tweaks, like adding Campbell to the countywide options and maybe consider doing the same with Barcroft because of its year-round approach.  But the idea of making "STEAM" just how you do ES makes a lot of sense to me.  And this really simplifies the options.  I just think the team working on it got so focused on their IB/Immersion/STEAM tracks that they completely overlooked the two other options that need to be worked in there.  I, for one, would have loved to send my kids to Campbell because I like the outdoor learning aspect but we live in N. Arl. so it wasn't an option for us.

For the PP who asked about 'when' - in the discussion this was presented as a very early draft of their thinking and would be something to work towards over time.  Clearly a lot of feedback is still needed and there are community meetings and online feedback opportunities in the next few weeks.[/quote]
