These schools are safe
In today’s Dayton Daily News, I wrote that seven or eight Dayton elementary schools will not be rebuilt as part of the Dayton Public Schools construction program because of enrollment declines. Wondering if your school is safe? Here is the list of schools that already are in the pipeline for construction and will be part of the master plan the district will submit next month for sure:
The six high schools will be rebuilt
• Thurgood Marshall High School will replace Colonel White at the former Roth High School site on Hoover Ave. Construction is underway.
• David Ponitz Career Technical high school will replace Patterson at a site near Sinclair Community College
• Stivers will be back on its Fifth Street site in 2007
• Meadowdale will return to the same site
• Dunbar will return to the same site
These 12 elementary schools are either underway or already part of the master plan
• Kiser opens on the same site this summer
• Wogaman opens at the same site this fall
• Belle Haven opens at the same site this fall
• Cleveland opens at the same site this winter
• The Charity Adams Earley Academy for Girls will be renovated at the same site
• The Roosevelt School for Boys will be built at the Roosevelt High School site
• A new Montessori school will be located at the Patterson Career Center on River Corridor Drive
• The World of Wonder school will be at the same site (formerly Residence Park Elementary School)
• A new school will replace Cornell Heights on Kings Highway
• Ruskin will be at the same site
• Horace Mann will be at the same site
• Louise Troy will be at the same site
• Kemp will be rebuilt at the same site (Sorry. I accidentally left Kemp off the list initially.)

Carnival conversation
This week’s Carnival of Education is done up conversation style by The Science Goddess. The carnival, usually hosted by The Education Wonks, is a weekly round up of the best education blogging posts.
My offering this week is a post about what you need to know to teach math, with some perhaps surprising info about how hard it can be to teach the subject, even if you are a professional mathematician or engineer.
