Since I asked the question about whether the glass windows facing the open work area were a distraction, I'd like to clarify the response the teacher gave. His answer was that HE tended to find it distracting when people were working in the open area. He said he couldn't tell if it distracted the students.

Thanks, Jodi. I decided to focus on his answer regarding the students.

These look pretty cool, but I'm not sure what the research says about how, if at all, these improve student outcomes.
Looking at the pictures I can't help but think "Open Classroom v.2.0".

The District allocated almost 2MM for the three pilots, about half of this year's money available for facilities. You report the work @ Heights cost almost 1MM. The 750K grant, does that money "free up" 750K for other work in the District or was it added to the 994K at Heights bringing the total cost @ Heights to 1.6MM?

That's odd. I was at the previous meeting, my first - on Global Warming, paid dues for the firstRead More time ever, wrote down my e-mail more than once, and still had no idea there was a meeting was last night.

Location is on Ormond Road, between Lee and South Taylor (the Heights main library is on the corner)

I believe ths site could best serve CH residents as a future wind farm (small scale of course). ItRead More sits high above the surrounding area; could accommodate possible 3 turbines; and provide electricity to the surrounding residents and businesses. Of course, the council would run it like they do the water/sewer, streets, forestry, lighting, "insert other here" departments, and it would just turn into a way to charge residents and continue to bleed them dry. But they would give tax abatements to whoever built the turbines or operated them.

Diane, for what it's worth, I believe FutureHeights has announced their intention to have a meetingRead More where the community can discuss ideas for Severance.

Along those lines, Diane, I thought an indoor greenhouse would be a good idea. Classes on how toRead More create gardens, grow food, store and preserve food would be an asset to the City.

Just ignore them then. The important thing is what we're talking about HERE.

Please join the conversation. The proposed school bond would be a timely starting point!
