Crooked Billet-Hallowell

These two elementary schools were temporarily merged while the former's campus was demolished and rebuilt; said campus has since opened, and the two schools are no longer a unified "Learning Community." The article should be changed to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.50.55.99 (talk) 19:51, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts on the table

First, I like the approach of having the general "Information" box, as it promotes meaningly sentences, and content, and not just a directory listing. It avoids the rigidity of having to repeat a particular item of data for every school, or not having it for any, so this is better than many school tables I've seen.

On the mildly negative side, I'm a little worried about the complexity of the table code, such as use of rowspan/colspan. I've actually done tables as complicated as this, so I probably shouldn't talk; but I'm a little worried about maintainability for novices. I want to know that a novice can update just one small piece of information, without familiarizing themselves with the overall table. Given that a rowspan/colspan isn't absolutely needed, except for minor formatting, I'm not sure of its purpose. I used rowspan/colspan myself for Alberta charter schools, but that was just to avoid repeating a field value multiple times (and I'm not even sure I should have done that).

I'm actually not concerned if this specific table is changed, but I thought I'ld make comments, as this may be used as a model for others, if many mergers/redirects take place soon (as seems likely). --Rob 09:29, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually one of the reason i started this was to use as a frame work for discussing the merge/redirect issues with respect to a recent Afd. The more I look at this i feel the break out point should be when the information box can no longer hold the information. I would imagine that four lines is close to the max for a useful table.

Information Boxes

I'd like to just comment that the information box data for the High School is not entirely true- I see the data is based on the school district website. I can vouch as a student that a "paperless curriculm" does not exsist as the statement declares. Like most schools I presume, there are school-wide emails sent out to teachers, but NEVER have I heard of a paperless test, worksheet, or assignments. The district has [after 4 years of using Powerschool] made the availability of parent/student login to check grades, but that is all. How can I make a change to this by using a verifable source? I disagree with the original source and can not prove it to be true. 71.225.203.38jowe

One possability is to remove the information and just reference that parents have access to the school intra net to monitor grades. David D. (Talk) 22:24, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
