Phase II Recommendations Dismissed by Board
The School Board voted tonight to reject Raj's Phase II recommendations.
Late in the meeting (around 11 pm), apparently Irene Stewart introduced a motion to reject Raj's recommendations tonight since she knew there were not enough votes to pass them, and they didn't want to "do this" for two more weeks.
Cheryl Chow and Michael DeBell voted against the motion. All other Board members supported it.
Bottom line, AS#1, Pathfinder, Cooper, and Roxhill all stay put.

Comments
I have heard several School Board members talking about future discussions around middle schools and high schools.
No idea how/if they are going to reconsider elementary and alternative schools again, but nothing will be done for the 2007/2008 school year.
My prediction is that Sally Soriano will introduct a separate motion for the Viewlands/Broadview Thompson recommendation and that it will receive Board support.
