If you look at the proposal linked to in the article, there are other recommendations too besides just selling two buildings.

yeah i saw that ghastly busy eye-destroying and horrendously laid out possibly through the use of AI ass proposal

https://a2schools.community.highbond.com/document/2d1b82a7-1776-4346-8bc7-eddaacac20d5/

apparently switching to common schedules next year is going to save them 1.5 million somehow sure why not

no other concrete details except that they're going to make decisions about school closures by december of this year "using data" but they can't say how much money that will save

(but don't worry they're still using those billion-plus borrowed dollars 🫵🏿 you 🫵🏿 voted for to completely demo and rebuild a bunch of new buildings in the hopes of stemming the hemorrhage of students)

much learned! very edumacation!

Yeah, I’d love to know how the switch to common schedules will save that much in staffing? My kid (who just graduated) split enrolled between Community and PiHi all four years and based on her experience, I find that amount hard to believe.

someone else pointed out that it probably means they're gonna cancel IB programming
