[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It is unusual to see active push in support of staff from schools not threatened to be moved. [/b] I would say SB will see letters and speakers from the collective PTAs as a sign they can support staff (for once!) and vote yes on the moves. I have been watching this stuff for 10 years. I think the moves are a go. We will know soon![/quote]

This is a really important point.  Having input from the whole community [b]rather than those most directly impacted [/b]is a huge deal.  Of course, in the past, SB could simply dismiss such input because it's coming from communities that weren't being significantly impacted.  This time, though, everyone will be impacted significantly regardless of the decision.[/quote]

You miss the point.  These people are most directly impacted IF SCHOOLS DO NOT MOVE.  These are the very people dealing with ridiculously crowded schools who can see what systematic changes have to occur to balance enrollment.[/quote]

The problem is those of use in neighborhood schools don’t really know what is happening.

That makes it harder for me to advocate one way or the other because for all I know fighting for No Move means my kid gets to stay at their current school and fighting for the move means my kid will have to move.

I’m in support of the move but I’m hesitant to publicly advocate for it because I don’t want to find out further down the line that my advocacy is the reason something else unforeseen happpens come fall.

For example in the last boundary change we were limited on certain moves that could be made because of a variety of smaller factors. I don’t want to see for example we have to create an additional school with a 60% FRL rate because “it’s the only way” [/quote]

And I especially don’t want to hear “I told you so” from that annoying Key crowd! [/quote]
