The Board has tentatively planned all year to move the MG Alternative High School (MGAS) from its current rental location on Monona Drive to Nichols School beginning next fall. However, at tonight's meeting, the possibility of Winnequah was discussed as well.
While the space available on the lower level of Winnequah would be appropriate (includes the FACE and Tech Ed. rooms, along with regular classrooms), concerns about security, since a back door now locked during the day would be in use, the need for construction of a dividing wall with a door to separate the Alt School from the rest of the building but still allow for a second exit from the building, and the fact that bathrooms on the lower level are located on the other side of that new, proposed wall all present problems. The fact that there is very little time to gather public input on such a move was another important factor cited.
The Board requested cost estimates on both options for discussion at the May 26 meeting, at which time a decision must be made in order to accommodate a move.
