I read in article on the Star Tribune website a few days ago.
Dunwoody Academy is an independent vocational school that is going to be moving to North Community High School next fall. This will also be the first time a charter school and metro area school share the same building. I thought this was interesting because there are a lot of changes happening in the Minneapolis school district and merging parts of these schools will cut costs for both. Also, the enrollment at Dunwoody is growing while the enrollment at North High is shrinking. There are many changes that need to be done to make the transition for both the schools and district officials are continuing to talk about the plans. They began discussions of this earlier this year and have been hoping to transform North High into a science, technology, engineering, and math focused school.
I think that bringing these schools together will help cut costs and make it easier for both of these schools to function.

This sounds interesting. I didn't know they were doing that. What even is a charter school? But I think that it's cool that they are transforming North High to be more focused in those areas because I think that many of the new and growing jobs of today are in those fields.
