[quote=Anonymous]The upkeep of one building, even if it's bigger, is less costly than multiple campuses. The school can feel more unified when on one campus. Having worked at a school with multiple campuses, once we combined, the school felt more unified and connected when we merged into one location. We felt more like a community, and the school was stronger overall. I hope the same for LAMB.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't we asking the LAMB administration to do BETTER this time? We really can't do better than a facility that is probably too small, in an inconvenient location far from transit?[/quote]

Because this is a great space and it will be impossible to find something better? Can you name one location/building where you think that the school can be located and be convenient for ALL families?  There is no such place and I for one think that Kingsbury is as close to perfect as the school can get.[/quote]

Agree. I think it is a great space.  Plus I think people who are asking the administration to do better are living in a dream world, where there is a wealth of school-ready buildings just waiting to be snapped up.  There is a reason that the school has been looking for a permanent location since they expanded back in 2011.  There isn't an abundance of space out there.  And it isn't any further than public transit than the current locations.  [/quote]

What is the point of combining the entire school?  I don't see any savings and not a single poster has addressed this. [/quote]

You'd need fewer admins -- no need for a family 'coordinator' or ELD supervisor at each campus, wouldn't need as many assistant principals. Utility and cleaning costs will go down (same number of classrooms but fewer offices, one gym/auditorium), food service costs will go down a little because of delivering larger amount to one location.
