[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those parents are in a tough spot. How do you argue for other people's kids to get moved into your school, when they are all kicking and screaming to stay out?

They don't need to advocate to move a specific area into westfield.  They only need to complain for ultra low expected enrollment for westfield and the negative impact of it.  They can demand the board to solve the problem.  The school board need to think about how to fix the problem.  If not this time, at least next time they can try to fix it.  Otherwise,  they have to worry about their re-election.

Although my kids are not impacted this time,  I feel so disappointed about all the school board members for not doing their job.  I will definitely vote for a different person next time,  whoever that caddidate is.[/quote]
Based solely on 2025-26 numbers, adjusted Westfield will still have a higher enrollment than Skyview, South Lakes, and several other high schools.  In addition, people were repeatedly pointing to future growth in some Westfield areas south of Route 50, so that could add kids to Westfield as well.

Your main beef really is that someone (apparently Dixit) is selectively only moving poorer areas into Westfield, so that could have a greater impact on its ability to offer advanced courses than if a more balanced (and logical, based on location) mix of neighborhoods were moved there. That’s a legitimate argument, but it won’t get any traction with the School Board unless Westfield families mobilize quickly and loudly.  Just counting on the School Board to “do the right thing” will get you nowhere, because their commitment to doing the right thing - as opposed to what is expedient and what they think will trigger the least backlash - is absolutely nil.
