The SAP committee did mention KA. Not specifically that it should be closed but that magnet schools are the most under utilized buildings in the district and they further speculated that adding a fifth ward school may reduce KA enrollment even further and would perhaps negate the need for a magnet school in that location. See the SAP Data Day meeting notes from Jan 15, 2022 here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dZg0ZWHR-tSikxBJiBG6re_HquRGgnmICMh73G0OZaM/edit

I think I saw it proposed somewhere before, but would KA have the capacity to absorb Bessie families in a "school-within-a-school" capacity, or just convert it a dual-purpose magnet school? With some enrollment trickling from KA to the new school based on assigned mapping, would that open up sufficient capacity for that?

Thanks, that's interesting. King arts gets mentioned a bunch and BR not at all in the initial doc
