Beyond this ES discussion, I was glad to see in the HS options under consideration that included a comprehensive school at the Kenmore site.  [/quote]

Wasn't a new school at this site rejected once before? What exactly is the proposal--to build an additional school, or to turn Kenmore into a high school? Or by "comprehensive," do you mean to turn Kenmore into a 6-12 school?[/quote]

The suggestion is that they add the 1300 seats on the Kenmore site as a smaller comprehensive school for now. In one FAC meeting I attended it was suggested that they could then potentially in the future move the middle School and expand the HS on that site.[/quote]

i believe the biggest pain point/rejection with Kenmore site was traffic disruption. the school is located in an awkward corner with only bad to terrible access points. if you expanded the school to a HS 1.5 of its current size - more walkers and more student cars, it'd be potentially disastrous in am rush hour. though location wise it's probably better than the VHC site few hundred yards down the street.[/quote]
