Boeing Brings CCSD Back to the Future

The academy announced for Stall High School reported in Monday's P&C [see Stall High School to Open Academy] mimics similar long-standing partnerships all over America--initiated not only by Boeing but also by other businesses important to the economy of each area.

The "new aeronautics academy" should be a boon to Stall High School students and others who wish to attend. Why does Superintendent McGinley insist that CCSD replicate it in her four "areas"? Aren't there other specialties needed for the local economy? Why has CCSD not pursued previous business partnerships?

Does it take someone from Seattle to see that Charleston's high school students could get training and certificates in high school instead of paying tuition to get them post-graduation at Trident?
