Rainier Beach High School is safe- for now

For today at least, RBHS is safe from merging with Cleveland at the Beacon Hill site.  Newer, even more interesting options are on the table:

Option 1

Discontinue the Center School Program (currently at Seattle Center) and assign students to Rainier Beach.

Option 2

Move Aki Kurose program to Rainier Beach and create a 6-12 comprehensive performing arts program at Rainier Beach.  (if you’ll look to my previous post, you’ll see I outlined that option before the District did, because this has been quietly in the works for over a year now)

We have gone from moving Summit K-12 to RBHS to scrapping that after parents clutched their pearls and called their lawyers District reps to object, to merging RBHS with Cleveland, to now either moving in Center School Students, who are also high school students, or moving in Aki students, which are middle schoolers.
