jelkneryou clearly understand what we are doing11:00
jelknerand your insights are right on point11:00
jelknerin particular, you made this point, from the irc log:11:00
fkoikoiThanks for the compliments Jeff11:00
jelknerI think it will be a junior or senior high school and within the school Jetro Web Development will have an office place like the A. M. Kyne Center at Tubman High School11:00
dcammueGood morning jelkner, fkoikoi and tboimah 11:01
jelknerThis is a crucial point11:01
jelknerGood morning dcammue 11:01
jelknerwhile it is certainly true that the overall nature of the school will be determined in large part by community interest11:01
jelknerwe (meaning Jetro Web Development) are in negotiations with MCSS.11:02
jelknerWe will insist on our minimum goals, which is to have an effective place to conduct our business inside the new building11:02
jelkneri would like to learn more about the A. M. Kyne Center11:02
jelknercan you point me at info where I could learn about it?11:03
fkoikoisure Jeff11:03
jelknerthat would be great11:03
jelknerand i will share some things with you too11:03
jelknerto help guide your thinking further11:04
jelknera few points:11:04
jelkner1. Kamal Foundation builds small schools11:04
jelknerso don't think Tubman High, which I believe has around 2 thousand students?11:04
jelknerthink small11:04
fkoikoiJeff11:04
jelknerFreena11:04
fkoikoiI wasn't talking about Tubman in particular 11:05
jelknerPerfect11:05
jelknerThat's great, but I'm still not sure if you have anything in MCSS equivalent to our "Programs" in APS?11:05
fkoikoiI was actually talking about the Center which is located in Tubman building 11:06
jelknerThe Supe and I worked together for over 10 years in "a program"11:06
jelknerThe Arlington Career Center11:06
jelknerand now there is a program within a program11:06
jelknerArlington Tech11:06
jelknerhttps://careercenter.apsva.us/arlington-tech/11:07
jelknerI'll try to explain the difference between a school and program over time11:07
fkoikoiI will send you a mail of how the A M Kyne center works so you can have an idea of what I was talking about11:07
jelknerthat would be awesome11:08
jelknerone last thing, we have programs in APS that are combined middle and high school11:08
jelknerif the new school is a tech focus school (which would make sense)11:08
jelknerperhaps the Supe is interested in doing that kind of thing11:08
jelknerso that middle school students are recruited who are interested in ICT careers11:09
jelknerand they stay until they graduate high school11:09
jelknerand even perhaps get community college type credits11:09
jelknerthat's what we do at Arlington Tech11:09
fkoikoialright, I'm will bring that up during our next meeting with the supe11:09
