Comment by John Boutet on January 6, 2017 at 11:29pm: More uncertainty ahead: Erica Bryant: Trump's plans for the RCSD

Comment by John Boutet on November 4, 2016 at 5:21pm: Be sure to check out Justin Murphy's November 4, 2016 D&C article Rochester reshuffling public school buildings again . Some of these changes may impact our elementary schools in the future. After 16 is renovated it will be School 10's turn. Where those School 10 students move for swing space will be an issue. There is also the question of where our 19th Ward elementary students will go for junior high. If Wilson Magnet now becomes 7-12 does that mean it becomes our destination of choice for 7 and 8? We need to stay on top of what the district is doing and make sure if makes sense for our students.
