[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thinking about this more. Getting rid of outdoor lab and moving the employees to Arlington might make a ton of sense. You could sell the property and make a lot of cash. There’s nothing they teach there that couldn’t be done at an Arlington nature center. And since the overnights are now in jeopardy anyway due to the Oakridge thing. Why not get rid of it?[/quote]

Ignorant. Thankfully, APS doesn’t own the outdoor lab or Murphy would have probably sold it back in 2010. It’s owned by a separate nonprofit. APS just pays for staffing.

With so many central office staff who do next-to-nothing for students…. cutting people who actually teach kids should not be the priority, ever.[/quote]

They teach each APS kid for 1-2 days per year. This is a nice to have but not critical part of their education. I’d choose more classroom teachers or SPED teachers over the Outdoor Lab. [/quote]
Proposed Outdoor Lab budget doesn't make sense.  They are cutting redundant positions but increasing spending by over 200K in just 2 years.  Have heard nothing but grief concerning the place this school year.  No wonder APS is failing at teaching Math and Science.[/quote]
