Needed Elementary Capacity in West Seattle
Issue #2: The urgent need for additional elementary capacity in West Seattle.
Possible Solution A: Two new elementary schools eventually located at Fairmount Park and at the Denny site. The programs will meet at the Boren site until the buildings are ready. I, personally, think this is the best path.
Possible Solution B: Two new elementary schools eventually located at Fairmount Park or Genesee Hill or E.C. Hughes or the Denny site. The programs will meet at the Boren site until the buildings are ready. I, personally, think this is the best path.
Important variations: The two new schools in West Seattle may not necessarily be attendance area schools. They could be option schools and they could host a variety of programs including Spectrum, language immersion, Montessori, an alternative pedagogy, or a conventional pedagogy. I, personally, think it would be best if both of the new schools used option enrollment and had language immersion and Spectrum in one building and Montessori and Spectrum in the other building. This would end the conflict between Spectrum and neighborhood enrollment in attendance area schools. It would also provide equitable access to language immersion or Montessori.
Possible Solution C: What suggestion do you have?

Get it, got it, Good.
Pathfinder folks would not be happy, but, in the long run, option programs are supposed to be centrally located and Boren is plainly more central than Cooper. WSDWG
