[quote=Anonymous][b]The primary purpose of the school system is to provide a solid education for all students --hopefully, in my opinion, in a setting that provides a safe environment for all students.  That would include convenience to the school and extra-curricular activities.

It sounds to me like McLean should be fixed.  Moving tons of kids around is not optimal and very disruptive to the whole community.  
All schools have maintenance issues from time to time.  Does the plumbing in your school never have issues?  However, if the school is unsafe, that is a far different issue.  I guess I find it hard to believe it is that bad, but then, I see what they are doing with Coates.

If Robyn Lady wants to do the right thing, it seems to me that her focus should be on Coates and McLean and less on the Forestville community.  But, then, I don't know just how bad McLean is.

And, KAA should open as a traditional high school for the same reasons listed above.

Giving up KAA to a magnet does not meet the need of the community or the vast majority of the students.

If this means reducing some other programs, so be it.

Magnets are nice gravy.  They are not the meat and potatoes.
