[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone at RCF supports Option 7, in fact many do not but some on the PTA have decided to say to the community and the board that "the school" supports Option 7.  When they send emails out to the parents asking them to write to the board, they don't mention that Option 7 splits the school.  I guess they are hoping that we don't notice.  In fact some parents have been shocked to learn that RCF is supporting the option that splits the school.  They have assumed the best of the PTA, and only realized after it was too late that this was the direction the PTA was going.    [/quote]

First of all, this is a lie. Not only have the emails and the survey made it very clear that Option 7 splits the two programs, there was a vigorous discussion on the parent listserv about what this means for all of the efforts that have been made in recent years to create a unified community at RCF. This was also debated at the school-wide meeting held right after the superintendent's recommendation came out. At the meeting, it was also discussed that the RCF boundary committee would advocate for transportation from RCF to Westland if the BOE does go with Option 7. So you're either lying about being an RCF parent or you're lying about what the emails said.

For those who are saying the RCF community doesn't understand that this will be a drain in PTA resources - with the immersion folks our school is at around 25% FARMS. The new MS would have a lower FARMS rate than RCF (or course, our neighborhood-only FARMS rate is way higher). So I'm pretty confident that just as our PTA currently finds enough volunteers and donations, the new MS PTA will be able to do the same with a lower FARMS rate than we currently have. [/quote]
