[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People can watch the meeting for themselves. I think we need to ignore the person who is so dug in. The real question I think it’s important to ask is why didn’t this proposal come much sooner in the process? If the goal is really to increase access for Langston students why did that just come up in the last six months? What are they planning on doing with the Langston building? APS is not being honest about the reason for this change. [/quote]

I think it is because APS is heavily shuffling buildings and leases around.  They see the writing on the wall, in relation to funding.  They have been ridiculously overspending (iPads for every pre-K student, gobs of free programs for adults, and we have a very high needs student population. Etc.). Otherwise their shuffling of all these programs makes zero sense, and is contrary to what they shared as their vision for AT (to intensively grow it in size and reputation, among other things).

I think you’re right and wish they would be honest if it was about budget, we all know that the budget was a huge issue last year. Kim Graves told ATAC. It wasn’t about budget, the school board member told me the same. I don’t believe them. [/quote]

You mean they told you it’s not about the budget?  I don’t believe them either.  If it’s not about the budget then just stay the course and concentrate on AT and growing that program as they had intended. Then they could still reevaluate a year or a few years later. Why the rush?![/quote]
Yes, they both said it wasn’t about budget, just improving access to CTE classes for Langston students. Some already take course there but they wouldn’t (couldn’t?) say how many. [/quote]
