[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are literally six public schools closer to Columbia Forest than Drew Model School: Abingdon, Barcroft, Campbell, Carlin Springs, Claremont & Randolph. (For that matter, according to Google Maps, even Henry is closer at 2.2 miles away vice 2.5 miles to Drew Model!) So tell me why Columbia Forest kids should go to Drew, while neighborhood kids 7/10th a mile away will not?[/quote]

Campbell and Claremont aren’t neighborhood schools. You could have had a decent argument there but instead you tanked your credibility by including them.[/quote]

I know they aren't neighborhood schools - I know exactly which schools are lottery schools and which aren't. But why should my kids be denied the ability to attend any of [b]seven [/b]schools closer to them geographically? Give us a choice....

I'm with you, CF poster. Drew poster here. Your point is that Drew is far enough away that you can get 7 other schools within a circle around your neighborhood, whether those schools are choice or not. Either proximity to schools matters or it doesn't. Either busing kids past one elem. to attend another is silly or it isn't. It can't be that way for one boundary process but not the next one. All we're asking for is a consistent approach that isn't an obvious giveaway for one school community over others. [/quote]
