[quote=Anonymous]It's obvious we're going to get an option program over this way. No matter which set of projections you look at, we're probably going to have somewhere between 500 and 600 excess seats in the region after Reed opens and it'll be really challenging to fill those seats via busing. So Ashlawn, Barrett, Discovery, Jamestown, McKinley, Nottingham and Tuckahoe families (note those are in alphabetical order so as to not suggest any preference or prejudice), is there any interest in trying to have a constructive conversation about the needs of the region as a whole, which sites seem like the best candidates, and what could be done for the families displaced from any of those sites to make the transition better for them? We're the ones who really know this area and I'd like to believe that we could work together productively to come up with a good proposal. It won't be perfect, it would be a compromise that necessarily would work out better for some than others, but I'd like to believe we're capable of having that conversation anyway, including acknowledging how each of our schools is and is not a good candidate for an option site. The conditions are no sniping, no targeting a particular school because you have a grudge against it, and no saying "Eff the rest of you, only I matter."
