In admin separate Voyager, Kestrel, and Central Park School into individual Elementary, Middle, High schools as appropriate to resolve the below issue.

SCHOOLS AT ISSUE Voyager Academy (k-12) - separate locations and principals Kestrel Heights (k-12) - separate principals, same location Central Park School for Children (k-8) - separate locations and principals

paraphrasing @sarahsba email

Hey team, Get ready for a long email:

@npage915 and @sarahsba realized at the last meeting that 3 of them are essentially several schools under 1 name. The elementary and middle schools, for instance, have different principals, start times, locations, and offerings. Given these distinctions, it would be difficult to represent them with a single profile, so we recommend having 1 profile per principal. This means that that Central Park School for Children, which has separate principals for its elementary and middle schools, would have a profile for the elementary school and another for its middle school while Maureen Joy, with one principal overseeing the entire school, would have a single profile.

Below are further thoughts and implications of this which we can discuss on Tues:

Possible characteristics to determine # of profiles School name Principal (our vote) Location Website Superintendent preference Expansion of seats in the lottery (i.e. not just replacing kids who have left)

SCHOOLS AT ISSUE Voyager Academy (k-12) - separate locations and principals Kestrel Heights (k-12) - separate principals, same location Central Park School for Children (k-8) - separate locations and principals
