Go to facebook and then go to "Scarf". Plan C was presented to the BOE tonight. See what you think!!!!
Can't be a "wait & see" scenario, GUY! How is it going to happen? You won't have ONE kid leave Graystone OR West Stanly & head into that environment at AHS unless redistricting occurs. Plan C won't likely pass but I do see a compromise coming.Originally posted by sway1532:
Plan C is the best option and it will work. TW, you wanna know how AHS and SS will draw students for STEM? Well "Guy" you'll just have to wait and see..... The audacity of the BOE to even consider to close AHS was a bunch of "BS!" and bogus and was not going to go thru and it "WILL NOT GO THRU". You'll damn near have a riot here in Albemarle...! As Buddy said, there is no perfect plan as their is no perfect "Life". On top of that! one of the main issues was that AHS didn't offer any AG classes and now, we have a potential to offer more and people still have an issue? Get out.....
Plan C is totally irrelevant & was in the trash before the meeting was over. We were looking for one of two directions from the board last night. First was to table the whole consolidation plan & let it fade away saving face for the new board. That didn't happen so the second direction will be to "Ram" (could be a great mascot for one of the new re-branded schools) Plan A into place. This will meet greater resistance bringing the ultimate compromise of repairing the schools that need work & redistricting the entire county in an effort to balance the enrollments/demographics of each school.Originally posted by sway1532:
Tango, I agree with the k-8 proposal, but I was told from a reliable source that the K-8 proposal will be temporary. As presented the alternative plan "C" is designed to only utilize the K-8 concept for a short term basis (1 -2 years) in an effort to allow ample time to renovate East Albemarle & Norwood Elementary. Additionally we know that Oakboro Elementary will need renovations as well.
@TW unfortunately you "Will" have to wait and see. After being blindsided by the BOE for plan A and plan B, patience is needed. Also, the board couldn't answers the most "Simple" questions from the community when Plan A and Plan B was drawn up two weeks ago, now your asking a question like this? That's bias.... Your question will be answered eventually right?

Lets plan that Albemarle remains open. What are the community activists plans to improve the success of the students both in school and prepare them for post high school? What are the expectations for dealing with behavioral issues and students that are not interested in being students? When AHS gets the green light to the future it cannot be the same as it has been. Everyone can say what they want about the system, admin, teachers, etc but the community must be involved supporting strong discipline and increased educational standards.Originally posted by sway1532:

I expect that if the plan is to renovate East and Norwood this plan is doomed. The budget has a short fall currently which is part of the reason that I find Plan A hard to figure out. Plan B seems to be the one that makes the most sense between those two.Originally posted by sway1532:

Buddy I do not think anything happens for next school year and have thought that since Plan A and B were introduced.Originally posted by Buddy Rich:
What I want to know btango. What kind of time frame are we looking at here. The next school year starts in Aug. That's roughly 5 months away. Can they implement any of these plans by then. I don't see how. Or will what ever they decide be implement in the next school year.
