[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster. I agree Shepard and Bancroft should feed elsewhere. They do look to have gained a gerrymander via some political deal.

The only reason I can see that makes any sense is that DME looked at the available Deal/Wilson seats, decided she could fit in a few more kids, and that Shep/Bancroft just had the political pull (or got lucky) to be the ones selected.

But if there really are more available seats at Deal/Wilson, I think it makes more sense to put them into the openly available lottery rather than reserve them for Shep/Bancroft.

Does DME describe any justification anywhere for giving this special favor to Shep/Bancroft?[/quote]

You seem to be confused about the current (pre-proposal) situation. Bancroft and Shepherd have been feeding to Deal and Wilson for decades. They were not added to Deal/Wilson.

Curious what kind of political deal you have in mind? Hey, we'll keep you in Deal/Wilson, if you promise to vote for the DME. Oh wait, the DME is not an elected official. Ok, then you must promise to vote for Gray. Oh wait, that's already decided... seriously, what "deal" could there possibly be between a neighborhood and the DME? Ridiculous.
