[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The unpredictiblity will have two certain effects on ward 3 schools: 1) families who can afford it will put their kids in private school rather than risk sending their kids to a previously OOB school and 2) families who can't afford private will move to maryland or attempt to get into a charter that does provide some predictibility. If even 25% of families (i'd guess it would be more) leave the schools those schools lose the sense of community that has made them so strong. And parents who currently pay $1000 per child to support the extras that make the school great have a percentage of kids who don't pay and are essentially free riding, they will not continue to pay the extra amount and the overall quality of school will go down. [/quote] You are WAY overestimating the number of kids that will be changing boundaries. And I think overreacting. [/quote]
