Ooh.

Dish more please

Right now a parent is railing against adding Rolling Valley to WSHS

...Oh, and add a 4th spilt feeder they did not fix (so they fixed zero split feeders).  They did close one attendance island. [/quote]

Interesting.

The Thru consultant looked annoyed at her and basically blew her off, cause she spitballed a number of kids that could go to WSHS from those 200 townhomes. The consultant didn't answer why they added that neighborhood to WSHS. [/quote]
It was priority 7 from Region 6. [/quote]

So they ignored priorities 1-6 and went with this one? Wow, okay. [/quote]
No. I’m pretty sure they incorporated those too. [/quote]

This was recommendation number 6: "Adjust boundaries to increase enrollment at Lewis to address overcrowding. Community members pointed out that Lewis is
underutilized and suggested that boundaries be adjusted to better utilize Lewis and increase socioeconomic diversity."[/quote]
Apologies, they seemed to have incorporated all of the specific changes. If Lewis had listed specific neighborhoods they wanted, THRU probably would have given them to them. [/quote]

Lewis families and anyone else from the lower SES schools seemingly missed the boat. If COVID hadn’t happened, the boundary changes would have started and then gone through in 2020-2021, when the political climate was totally different. There would have 100% been equity moves at that point. [/quote]

Ok sure. 
But what is being done, they seem to entirely have ignored Lewis.  It's underenrolled while others are over capacity. They just....pretended it doesn't exist?[/quote]
