[quote=Anonymous]Can't speak to the SH comments - and I didn't attend the focus groups personally.

However, I can tell you that the SWS Pro-proximity discussion is being driven by a small handful of extremely motivated parents who are MAKING it an issue everywhere.  (Weren't there like 5 people testifying at Catania's hearing on the matter?)

Not sure if you're "missing" anything - other than the fact that it sounds like the focus groups are being driven by the people who know how to drive such things, and make their issues THE issues.   In this area of the city, that means well-heeled, well-practiced people who most-likely make their livings convincing other people to do things they want: lawyers, lobbyists, etc.  People are going to advocate for themselves when it comes to education and their children, not sure if there's an opportunity for you to share your feelings that the focus group perhaps focus on things that may benefit more than a "few families."  If so - please do.     [/quote]
