I'd be interested to hear more about this, since we live in the area.
At the time of the school closings a number of parents and educators
expressed concerns about the ability of Whittier to absorb additional
students (there was talk about consuming Jefferson). Problems
mentioned were the lack of dedicated gym space, auditoriums and
limited bathroom facilities.
Also, how has the whole accreditation issue been progressing? My
understanding was that there was some IB accrediting body that would
have to be involved.
Thanks, Barbara!
