[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the board has the political will to put an option school at Nottingham, even though it would probably be the right decision.[/quote]

My kids don’t go to Nottingham, but I don’t necessarily agree that it is the right decision. The only program they could move there is also the most popular and presents the best chance at a more diverse school.   Why would they move that program to a Schools where less than 4% of the kids are ED. It makes no sense. [/quote]

And, same poster again, I implore Nottingham to start actually paying attention. So far your arguments have been only about you and not what is best for the community. This process has moved on from being about buses and bus drivers. Those still matter but now that adding diversity and such have been brought into the fray you need to change your talking points. You need to be talking about how an option school in your neck of the woods risks a lower access to ED families. How it is next to impossible to get to via public transit.  And how historically kids at Nottingham, Tuckahoe and Discovery have transferred at lower rates than other schools, including Jamestown.

And please ditch the T Shirts. [/quote]

If you think Nottingham isn’t talking about those things, you aren’t paying attention. Very little of Nottingham’s talking has been done here, it’s being done where it counts, to the people making the decisions.[/quote]
