Now where do you move Edgewood?

Dean: within some physical upper and lower limit can be created in very different ways. There are numerous ways to calculate efficiencies. Resource inputs for schools - measure of efficiency might include test scores. What is our efficiency based on student test scores and the dollars that go into operating that school. [Wow a solid calculation of overall value -- my opinion.]

Antolak: Are there district programs that are in WL that aren't in other schools?

Other guy: Using achievement data we could use growth, rather than use the MCAs. We could do something like that. That would be a long term analysis that is drawn out and more a function of who is teaching in each school.

Dean: Efficiency of a school can be determined more by achievement divided by cost rather than by cost of building. Efficiency should be what we are producing at one site.
