[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this ridiculous sniping back and forth and what I want to know is:  why was an aviation academy even suggested?  Seems like a completely frivolous idea that NO ONE wants or needs and is the very antithesis of a neighborhood school providing relief for that area.  I feel like someone suggested it (one of the idiot SB members) and everyone's fighting over it.  It should never have been suggested.

And btw - I live nowhere near this area, so a new western high school won't affect my kids at all.  Just chiming in as a FC resident that the idea of a "specialty school" where none is needed is totally absurd.  Right up there with the Lewis "leadership academy".[/quote]

[b]It seems to have gotten some traction because of concerns that the KAA building is not large enough or currently configured to support a traditional high school with a normal enrollment, at least not without a big additional investment. [/b]

They were in a big hurry to acquire this property so perhaps their due diligence was less than should have been undertaken.

The Lewis program is a different animal because they were trying to attract more students to a school that, while on the smaller end, has an adequate facility to support a traditional HS. [/quote]
No one at the school board has said this.  Only some NextDoor posters and their alter egos on here are trying to push this narrative.[/quote]
