Question: Did Trustees Get It Right re: Sorensen Call?

Issue: Sorensen gets a reprieve: Board approves plan turning it into magnet school/Meghann Cuniff, Spokesman-Review

More Info: The plan calls for the school to boost enrollment by 100 students within two years. Supporters must raise $100,000 by August, then $200,000 for the 2007-08 school year. That, plus the additional state money that would come from increasing enrollment, would cover the estimated $411,000 that district officials hoped to save annually when they proposed shutting down the school.

Question: Good call? Bad call?
