12. How do You Address the Public? If you are out in the community and asked about this proposal what can you say? The elementary building are at capacity Economic situation makes it difficult to add on additional classroom space to our current elementary buildings ALHS opened in May of 2000 with an enrollment exceeding 1,200 students The School Board has asked the administration and staff to look at restructuring our buildings to address these issues
14. Be Thinking About: At least 1 of the committees you would like to become involved in when looking at restructuring the high school: - Schedule and Facilities - Curriculum and Programming - Transition - Activities and Athletics
15. Be Thinking About: Increasing student achievement at ALHS - Where are we now? - Where do we want to be in 3 years? Integration of technology to assist student learning Resources required to restructure ALHS
