You're entitled to your own opinion. But you're not entitled to your own facts. Remember Fillmore East, as in East of the River? The most recent Fillmore withdrawals include Garrison and Hearst.

There are schools with full-time arts teachers and space that are logistically more efficient than Fillmore. Marie Reed could partner with Cooke. Ross could partner with Garrison.

That would leaves Hyde, Key and Stoddert, Hardy feeder schools. Maybe the leaders of those schools can figure out a way to make it work. Perhaps more IB people would attend Hardy if it was incorporated directly into feeders and indirectly through Fillmore breathing the same air in the Hardy building.

Kaya clearly wants to kick the Fillmore can down the road to assuage squeaky wheels. But make no mistake, the principals and central don't want the Fillmore arrangement. It's a legacy of desegregation efforts from the 70s. It's time to find an alternative.[/quote]

Which principals don't want the Fillmore arrangement?  From what I know, all 5 principals support the continuation of Fillmore.  Also, I'm not sure that your proposal to scale down the program to three schools rather than five makes sense.  Why not just send Hyde and Key to SWWFS and Stoddert to Mann?  [/quote]
