[quote=Anonymous]Do people really want something new? Are you so interested in Montessori/Korean Immersion/technology-based-learning that you are willing to have your 2nd grader going to school in a church basement? Are you ready for a start up, where the school relocates every 2 years for more space or cheaper rent? Or, do you want someone to open charters for other kids, so that there is more space and smaller classes for your kid in your neighborhood APS school? In which case, you are really asking someone else to do the School Board's job- especially capacity planning and funding. If you really want something new- say, an all-girls, STEM focused 5-8 grade middle school with uniforms- then charters are a great tool to fill an educational need that's not being met. But if you just want your kid to have a decent education in an actual building (vs a trailer) with reasonable class sizes- then vote for a better school board. [/quote]
