High School Reform…..
Coming to a High School Near you!
Schenley is Just the tip of the High School Reform iceberg….
- · ALL High Schools will be “specialty themed” schools
–> no school will stay the way it is - Four 6-12 schools are in the works
–> Frick and other middle schools will close and their students will be housed with 15-19 year old high schoolers - Public Money will refurbish already functioning schools
–> Only the massive redistribution of students throughout the district requires this spending on infrastructure not students - Successful, integrated, functioning schools will be dismantled
–> Many parents and students see parts of this plan as Re-segregation
What we want….
- · Slow down!!
–> Implementation of the radical High School Reform plan cannot move forward without a public process - · PROVE IT!!
–> Provide documentation and independent verification of all studies, reports, and research supporting these radical transformations of the Pittsburgh Public School System - · Get Input!!
–> Create a forum for public discussion and input on these proposals - · Fiscal Responsibility!!
–> No spending public money on any part of a radical plan without significant public buy-in on the specific details of the plan
