There aren't enough students to support two high schools in Dublin. A larger student population at DHS (and not to mention the new and improved facilities) means the school can afford more specialized classes (AP, electives, remedial, etc). API will go up as DHS continues to improve. To the person asking about a 2nd high school… it’s pretty simple. There aren’t enough students to support two high schools in Dublin.

Dublin Townhall seems to be dead (no activity these past weeks) and this issue is very important to all of us.It wasn't my intent to debate public vs. private education. Just trying to rally the troups since if these ballot measures fail, it will impact everyone and real estate values. I'll try there once more. My apologies for barging into this thread.

I can almost guarantee the new high school would have API's comparable to Pleasanton and San Ramon. I don’t get why we are not building a new high school in East Dublin.

Are we off-focus or what. I applaud those trying to counter this guys thinking, but we aren't going to change his twisted thinking. Can we start ignoring him and look at the real problem? <br /><br />Whether your kids go to public or private schools, good public education means better property values (and we need all the help we can get there), more involved parents and children, and a better future for the majority of our kids. <br /><br />What do you think of the initiatives? While not perfect, they are the first consensus the state government people have reached in a long time. They contain spending restrictions going forward, money directed toward education and kids health, and prevent government people from making more money in hard times. And yes, they have some problems in the details that need to be monitored. I ask everyone to support them and help getting others to vote for them as well. Any takers? Wow! Are we off-focus or what.
