[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like nothing more than grumpy neighbors complaining to school staff. That's too bad, but I hope that the school has the sense to ignore what won't be enforced. In thinking of neighbors, remember that (by law) charter schools have no admissions preference for children who live nearby. Neighbors of charters get a chance to have folks from all over the city driving (or tromping) through their neighborhood, sometimes using their playgrounds, and there's [b]zero[/b] direct benefit to people who live nearby. That's bound to engender resentment in some people, and I think it's on the schools to work as hard as they can not to alienate their neighbors. [/quote]
