[quote=Anonymous]A few questions. Sorry if these have been addressed elsewhere.

Are there two separate issues: Fillmore as a physical space and Fillmore educators themselves?

Re: staff, River Terrace is a special education school that, like West, has Fillmore [u]teachers[/u] go to their building in Ward 7. The kids do not go to the Fillmore [u]space[/u] in NW.

Re: space, Ross is less than 1 mile from 3 elementary schools with onsite arts education. Couldn't the renovated Marie Reed, Garrison, or SWW Francis-Stevens accommodate Ross students without a 20 minute bus ride each way?

Key and Stoddert seem to have the most pressing space issues. What about putting 5th grade from those 2 schools in Fillmore space at Hardy? Could that free up space for PK-4th and onsite arts at Key and Stoddert?

I'm not familiar with all of the logistics. But it seems odd to connect Fillmore in the Hardy space as a support for West, Ross, and River Terrace.

(Please don't tell me the 5th graders would somehow be at risk from being in the same building as 6th-8th graders. That's ridiculous.)
