[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t we move Montessori back into Drew?

I know politics but is that really going to get in the way of the most obvious and cheapest fix?[/quote]

That was a terrible idea then and a terrible idea today. Drew deserves to be its own neighborhood school.  AMAC needs to stop sucking all of the oxygen. [/quote]

Why does Drew "deserve" this when it's chronically under enrolled and bleeding money? What about what's good for the rest of the system?

Why does MPSA "deserve" its own program?  It's basically middle class white parents who want APS to build them a private school. What about what's good for the rest of the system? [/quote]

I don't disagree, let's just combine MPSA and Drew. MPSA will get a building and Drew will be filled up. Problem solved. [/quote]

I don't even understand why they were separated in the first place. MPSA was put in a much crappier building, while Drew never really got that influx of students. I chalk it to APS Planning Department being the planning department. They've never gotten it right.[/quote]

The planning department had to react to all the community input crap that objected to (1) any splitting up of Henry students, even though Henry was overcrowded and (2) anyone else terrified of being districted to Drew. They at least tried to draw a boundary that put Drew in the lowest FRL% range they could while still abiding by the ridiculous boundary principle of "contiguity." But even that didn't satisfy the community that insisted on "contiguity" in boundaries because they didn't want to be sent to Drew. [/quote]
