[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason that they are removing those geographic boundaries is because they are in the middle of all three schools.  The schools are clustered.  There are currently families zoned for Hearst that can walk to Murch and Janney.  By your argument we should expand those boundaries to included them.  But we cannot because of the geography that has to be served.  Walkability is a great goal, but it is in tension with making the remainder of the boundaries make sense.

I do not think anyone is suggest moving Murch, Janney or Hearst out of boundary for deal except for in the choice sets or geographic based sets where it would be one of two choices.

I do not support those options but perhaps your time would be better spent advocating for a proximity filter within the choice sets so we do not get the ridiculous outcome that a family two blocks from a particular middle school is cut out.[/quote]

Choice sets and lottery are likely to be halted by the next mayor, anyway I also oppose them now. But meanwhile I will oppose the rezone, which could happen even if choice sets are stopped. It's just dumb to deny families access to a school we can literally see from our house. (And, no, I am not Sarah Palin)[/quote]

I don't like Sarah Palin but she proved remarkable prescient about Putin.[/quote]
