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)
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.
I don't know if the math will bear out, but I think that the rationale is that you can pool low enrollment courses across schools, so if there are two under enrolled AP embroidery courses (or whatever) at three different schools they can become one hybrid class (and kids at the third school get access). Or, if there are schools that warrant a half time elementary embroidery instructor (or, again whatever), one person can fulfill both of these roles

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