Well they could have more k-12 and save money on the counseling for transitional middle schoolers which are passed levies waiting to be implemented. More K-12 could save parents and city much money for less transportation. And parents can invest more individual time and money into just one school/community.

which is as much as I said to summit inthe parent group meeting... but I said I would spread what they wanted said. I certainly agree that there are many other sucessfull art programs out there. I myself am really too new to know with a first grader and am open to ideas that work. I am not too worried about the alternative part of my childs education for that is what I am for:)
