AS a candidate she also received the administration's answers to 30 or so questions asked by the board and the community -- one of those questions being "pulling 9th graders into our middle school" and the detailed answer that explains that we would be 575 seats short so how that translates to doing so woiuld be a way to avoid building classrooms is beyond me.<BR/><BR/>The issue here is not the value of building classroom for K-3 , 4-8 configuration vs. 9th graders in our middle school --- the issue is Mrs. Monte saying this configuration would avoid building classrooms -- that just isn't true unless you plan to over crowd our middle schools by 575 students.<BR/><BR/>I will continue to point out misinformation that is spread where ever it is spread.Teresa Thielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01097990067216672469noreply@blogger.com
