There are more teachers than that changing schools. An elementary school actually added a position, and the teacher who was previously consolidated from that school chose to return to it last week. Another elementary lost a position, and that teacher ended up replacing the first teacher who chose to go back the the site they worked at last year. All in all, three schools were affected.

I’m almost positive OUSD hasn’t approved a new AIM charter, and I doubt a new school would open in October anyway. Maybe it’s moving to a new building. I’ll check into it.

Katy,
Thank you for writing about this. I don’t have anything to add but hope people will get a chance to read the guest blog with one of our teacher’s reflections in consolidation and how destructive it is.
Meanwhile, I have heard that a new AIPCS will be opening on October 30th. Can this be true? Do you know anything about it?
