Restructuring Middle Schools: The district seems to have "been there and done that"

A search at the district's website for restructuring plans for Plainfield Middle Schools turned out more than expected. Just as an anonymous reader had commented on a prior post, the Middle Schools have already been "restructured" more than their share. Another anonymous reader also sent a vision that included a Science and Health Magnet School (a name for a Science Hall was suggested a while ago by a school board member). Below are plans for what seems were past reconfiguration plans that were drafted, adopted, and.... never acted upon by the school district? I wonder who saw these documents before, I know I didn't until I recently started searching for restructuring plans.

Take a look at both documents and if you remember these plans and know why they didn't work many of us will appreciate your comments. (Note: You might have to click the link for the second document to view all pages)

I don't mean to add another side dish to your already full plate but you might also ask how many of those administrators who proposed these programs are still in the district(most are gone and sued the district), and what happened to the programs?
Also each summer(2-3 at least) teachers were paid to write curriculum. What was their final product?

We should put your questions on the record at the next board meeting.
It seems we need to organize a PTSCO: Parent Teacher Student Community Organization.
The PTO needs supercharging!
