How's that?[/quote]
I like the idea of shifting the Peabody kids to LT, after the latter's building is renovated, but what about using Peabody as an extension of SH?  It is often argued that there's no room at SH for Brent, Tyler and Maury families, so create the room by using Peabody's space more effectively.  Maybe Peabody could house a test-in magnet MS program.  There doesn't seem to be any hope of closing LT.  See the long July LT thread if you have doubts.

To those who like EH's promising building and grounds, not practical to attempt to attract West hill parents that far East. I know that East Hill parents love their neighborhood, but affluent SE and Lincoln Park parents don't and you need them to support change in large numbers if you're serious about change.

Think you sell us hill parents short.

Sure, When my kids were young I stayed west of 8th, but with little league and Soccer happening in places as "far flung" as EH, I guarantee that most Brent parents would be perFectly happy with EH if it had challenging academics for high achieving kids. SH would be ok too, but EH Cannot just be written off as too far east-- it's 5 blocks from Lincoln pArk!  Go to a little league game sometime over at EH and it's like half the kids aRe Brent kids.  Give us a great academic program and youd be shocked at how far we would travel to it.  Throw in some nice fieLds and you are good to go.[/quote]
