[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]~150 kids went private this year rather than go to Deal. If those kids don’t come back, that’s 10% of the school.[/quote]

The # of current 8th graders at Deal who are heading to SJC next year almost doubled from the previous class!   More than 5% of the current 8th grade class put a deposit down.  
For many families this is a stretch financially, but it is the cheapest path to not having to beg DC to appropriately staff their schools every year.

The city has a surplus - but has no problem putting so much stress on their employees.  The school administration is put in an impossible position.  The teachers are put in difficult environments.  
One current 8th grade long term sub at Deal has not been paid since staring in Feb. How many on this board would teach (8th graders) without a paycheck for 8 weeks?

Bowser and by extension Ferebee needs to go.   Spend the money on the teachers, not special consultants re-imagining schools.  
My re-imagine of schools is enough teachers in the school so we do not need to beg every year.  The money is there.

This is does not answer the original question—which is about the number of families that left Deal this year—and just introduces new ones, like who could possibly know how many Deal families put deposits down at SJC?

But I agree with your assessment of Bowser and Ferebee. :)[/quote]
