| Deal is over capacity by what 15-20%? Aren't Janney, Lafayette and Murch over capacity by about the same amount? Why no outcry to address that issue? Redistrict those schools? |
Janney may be. Murch isn't and Lafayette isn't. |

Easy peasy. Go elsewhere. Jeez. |
From page 11: Murch 86% in bounds / 14% OOB (620 students / 488 building capacity) Janney 94% in bounds / 6% OOB (693 students / 570 building capacity) Lafayette 87% in bounds / 13% OOB (697 students / 516 building capacity) Doesn't look like Deal is any more overcrowded than Janney and Janney is the best in the city right? |
Murch and Lafayette are both being rebuilt. Lafayette's building will hold up to 700. Not sure about Murch but I suspect the same. |
You say that Murch isn't however I think more than half the students are stuck in demountables. So I guess you can say they're not oversubscribed, The trailer should not be considered permanent. They have accumulated a trailer city because of their enrollment numbers. |
Even if you only take Janney, they are 21% over capacity. Why is it ok for Janney but not Deal to be over capacity? While we're talking about Deal, we should address Janney at the same time right? |
| Lol this should get good now! It's one thing to talk about the browns on the other side of the park, but you better not touch my Janney! You don't mind being overcrowded at Janney but don't want to be overcrowded at Deal (despite Deal having smaller class sizes than Janney). |
I am one of the "browns" and I ask you to please not invoke me in your petty issues. |
Freedom of speech |
vs. basic decency and respect. You choose. |
I am a "brown" too and this is how I feel. Sorry we don't all feel the same way. The question is a valid one, to me. |
FWIW I seem to recall several threads protesting the crowding at Janney, particularly from 3rd grade parents. |
You can of course say how YOU feel, but I believe it's counterproductive when you imply you know or represent the interests of all "browns" in order to make fun of others. You simply don't. |
