Held meeting this afternoon/evening with Superintendent Brady Johnson and key members of the administrative staff.
Much discussion as we worked to get on same sheet of music as Northview parents, who have some concerns about viability of a "2 school" solution, primarily around financing and around building a critical mass of students in the "north" portion of the 2 school solution.
Bottom line is that we have kept, and raised the visibility of the option of MMIB holding the mid-year programme from 6-10th grade, with 11th and 12th at Lake Norman. The option that many prefer, of MMIB housing 6-12th is a non-starter given space constraints.
So an "option 3" is still on the table. Some work being done in terms of discussions with Northview parents and students about supporting a program that would meet their concerns- getting at the "win-win-win" solution- one that works for both Northview and MM IB students and parents as well as school administrators and school board.
Time is getting short with a key meeting next Monday...
