[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HB needs to go. This pathways program should be the impetus. It doesn’t enroll enough students to be anything but an unfair lottery indulgence AND “democratic caring community” is not a thing.  The rest of the county should get together and demand that it be shut down and used for a real need. [/quote]

Agree.  It’s a palace and boy would I love to lottery in there someday.  But it’s fundamentally wrong to have a facility like that- particularly sited amongst affordable housing- that stands in such stark difference to what’s available to the rest of the county.  These fancy option programs need to go unless the neighborhood schools are all just as good.[/quote]

It's not really a "palace."  Have you been inside?  I mean it looks kinda snazzy on the outside, but inside it's just classrooms, a tiny cafeteria that can't even fit the whole school, a tiny gym, and a small black box theater and a regular auditorium.  It's just a school with lockers and desks and so on.  The floors are concrete. It has no parking and no field.  It's nice but it's not any nicer than YHS, Wakefield, W-L, Kenmore or Hamm.  It is nicer than WMS and Swanson, I'll grant you.  [/quote]
