[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why, why, why can't we just work on 26 strong high schools that all offer a variety of leveled work? Why can't all students just go to their zoned school? What if we used all of this money from their "Research," buses, program procurement etc, to add more teachers to the county and reduce the size of classes? Why does everyone need a program? [/quote]

Have all students attend their zoned schools and just focus on making them all strong. Utilize virtual education and dual enrollment if needed to add rigor and equality. Stop wasting money. [/quote]

Great.  Except the virtual/dual enrollment bit, which is a huge equity issue, offering a diminished experience and/or additional burdens.

If you want local-only schools, vote to provide enough differential funding to allow all of the same classes to be available at each local school whenever there is a student who qualifies for them.  You might have to pay more in taxes, of course, or be willing [i]not[/i] to have certain classes offered at [i]any[/i] school if the funding can't be found to resource them at [i]every[/i] school.[/quote]

Virtual makes it accessible.  Dual enrollment is not due to transportation.  [/quote]

Virtual may be accessible, but it's not as [i]effective[/i].  The classes, at least those within core subjects, need to be available [i]in-person[/i].[/quote]
