[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone think this ridiculous proposal is just to get leverage to get the CB to do what the schools want?[/quote] Of course. It's like when the county announces that if it doesn't raise taxes, it will have to close down the nature center. [/quote] I think so, too, but what else can they do? "These are the number of seats we have, these are our projected numbers, we have no land on which to build a new high school. So, assuming these givens, these are our options: run our high schools in shifts and push large numbers of students into distance learning courses. If anyone out there (read: County Board) wants to change any of these givens (such as by finding us some land), then we can come up with different options." I don't really believe there is anyone, anywhere, in APS who wants to go to staggered shifts for high school. But without land and $$$, there aren't a lot of alternatives.[/quote]
