Many communities like the idea and just deserve distict support for implementation. Some communties would rather have a Middle School option. Other school can't make it work within the confines of their building vs student body. Some of them need boundry shifts. Boundry investigation seems needed. I hear all over that kids crossing major traffic arteries, too many or too few students for building size, segregation. But be aware that putting middle school facilities needs into elementary buildings just plays into the hand that pushes what? You guessed it "$1.4 BILLION Facilites Bond Measure" Planning is nice isn't it? Nicole Leggett How about we let each school decide if it works for them.
