I just read that on arl news now.  [/quote]

If ASFS were still a semi-option program, they could probably justify hoarding a $200k facility perk that was privately funded, with the rationale that everyone in the county could theoretically seek admission to that school.  As a strictly neighborhood school, a $200k perk not made available to other elementary schools starts to feel very unequal.  I wonder if the board has fully considered the legal implications of this.[/quote]

You are welcome to fund a special lab for your school. Find corporate sponsors, etc.

Or just whine about it when other people took the effort to do it at their school.

"people" shouldn't be able to do things like this for their individual public school.  It exacerbates inequities, not just in "neat things" for their students; but also in maintenance responsibilities and costs for APS.  Has the PTA been paying for any ongoing maintenance and feeding the fish?  Is the PTA paying to move the lab to the Key building?  People are complaining about the cost to transfer the lab; but there wouldn't be any cost if "other people" hadn't purchased it in the first place.  So now it's costing ALL of us; but only the ASFS kids have ever gotten to benefit from it.[/quote]
