[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either fall of 2016 or fall of 2017 for the "big" three.  [/quote]

What does that mean?  Carson, Longfellow and Rocky Run are the three big TJ feeders, but of course they are already centers.  [/quote]

Cooper, Thoreau and I can't remember the third one on the list- further out west from the first two.  [/quote]

You probably mean Franklin.[/quote]

We have a 6th grader with Franklin base/ Carson Center, and have been told  by the  ES Carson will be an option for 2016-2017.  [/quote]

We were told the same thing about Longfellow as an option for 2016-17 too with Cooper as our base. I think they should stay true to that at this point. Finding out in Feb 2016 for the Fall is absurd.[/quote]

[b] I agree, but I think Cooper should still be named a center as opposed to LLIV. Offering choice to students for next year and honoring the school as a center for those who make the choice to go - and I think there will be many - should both be able to happen.[/quote] [b]

This is not the choice on the table. Only two options were given for Cooper-either becoming a center in Fall of 2016 or Fall of 2017. If it stays local level IV, many will still choose to go over Kilmer and Longfellow anyhow, so they should keep it as is for now and change in 2017. My DC prefers Longfellow and should not be told at this point that it is a no go-meetings have started as well as elective fairs. This year's 5th graders would have a whole year and a half to prepare for the Cooper center for 2017. 'nuff said.[/quote]

But why not make it a center but still allow choice the first year?[/quote]
