[quote=Anonymous]What all this says to me is APS has no idea what they are doing or how they will meaningfully address capacity without the quality of the system degrading. There is no long-term strategy, which is why Murphy couldn't give SB members any coherent answer about what things looks like beyond 5 years. And I'm really not comfortable with the SB voting on a plan that isn't fleshed out and doesn't specifically detail what the next step is after this one, or what they schools/programs will be. We don't want online classes, or "early college," do we? We want brick and mortar schools, where kids are supervised and educated by a human teacher, in person. Anything else is unacceptable.

I think they should have to define what will be built and demolished/relocated at the Career Center and at the Ed Center and how much it will cost before the vote, not after. This last minute plan has not been vetted, and I don't trust anyone in APS to figure it all out after the fact, in a way that plays out equitably. They don't exactly have a strong track record on this. They'll promise fields, but if they don't have a plan to acquire/set aside land why do you believe them? I don't. And I certainly don't believe that they'll have a plan to do it from the get go, and it will be small consolation that there might be fields or clubs at some future point if it's after my own kids will have graduated.
