Subject: APS - Did anyone go to any of the three "Walk Throughs" regarding the High School options?
It's not just Murphy, guys. This is what the ACDC wants. They don't want to spend more money on schools. As far as the majority of the county is concerned, we spend plenty on schools.
We are all too busy to fight this. We are out numbered anyway.
Don't like it?
Move.

These are way too many students for this site. It actually comes out to more students than Washington Lee has right now.
The hybrid plan is insane!
although if you pair it up with shifts and distance learning it might be possible: Tech and Spanish Immersion and Montessori for day shift, Culinary and pre-Med for night shift + distance learning, and alternate them every quarter if need be.
i think it's doable.
That might be what Murphy is thinking?
But it's not going to fly here.

Doable sure, almost anything that doesn't cause death or loss of property, or break laws, is doable. A good education and social experience for the kids, Not.
APS is a f*cking joke. The fact this is their solution is abominable.

The district says there is not sufficient demand. What would they consider sufficient demand!! SMH
Maybe the SB doesn't know about these numbers. I know that seems crazy, but I don't think they are as well-versed on ANYTHING having to do with APS as you would expect. Also, if Natrass/Murphy want some silly program, they aren't going to go flashing these numbers around.
