Enslow and Beverly Hills

Yesterday evening, about 25 people gathered at Enslow Middle School to discuss the school's future. Rachel Gensler covered it for a story in today's newspaper. What struck me was how much the people there liked the idea of a K-8 school in their neighborhood.

That idea would probably work out best. It will be interesting to see what happens in a couple of weeks when the school board has a similar meeting with Beverly Hills Middle School parents. Beverly Hills (do kids call it "The Hill"?) has a structurally sound building, but access is a problem and the place doesn't have a real front door. Just guessing here, but people in the Beverly Hills area probably aren't going to want to consolidate with Enslow.

Again just guessing, but Beverly Hills parents will want the same for their kids what kids in Barboursville, Milton and Cammack-West will have when those new schools are built. And what kids in a K-8 school in Enslow will have, assuming that is the way the school board goes.

There will be more thoughts and ruminations on the topic later this week on the editorial page.
