Mr.Savage, I mis-spoke when I said grades 7-8 couldn't fit (typed too fast and proof read too fast!).i meant that 7-12 wouldn't work.

I'm not referring to the good old days of the 70's or even the 80's. I'm talking about the late 90's and the 2000's. The fact that Aldrich, Gorton and Lockwood were once 7-12 really has no bearing on the discussion. And yes, Lockwood still stands but I'm not sure what your point is. They're incredibly well built but as a school district who resources are limited you really have to decide where best to deploy those resources in light of the fact that we still need all day K, middle school, technology improvements, and more and all of this while our populations decline. Your last comment I think is a bit out of bounds. If by impact on the students you mean emotional, well if that's the primary yardstick then I doubt that anyone who feels that way would ever consider consolidation. At the end of the day, a professional consultant will do their diligence and make recommendations. My contention is that any recommendation to close or consolidate any school will be met with the same level of opposition from the impacted community(s) that Vets had, regardless of how sound the data and analysis is.
