That's so interesting, because I feel like I've seen and heard a ton about it. But then, I have a kid who will be in HS next year and another one a few years later, so maybe I move in circles that are talking about this more. It might be useful to share with the people who are organizing in favor of this ballot initiative (because there ARE people organizing for it, quite actively) that their message isn't getting out far enough.
FWIW, I am in agreement with other commenters that rebuilding the HS is a good and important move for the city. Losing the HS's accreditation would be a HUGE problem for teens in Somerville, which would undoubtedly have many long-term repercussions not just on those kids and their families, but throughout Somerville. And on a more general level, having a HS building that is up to modern standards is just plain better for the community and the city as a whole.
