[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you seen the letter from the 5 civic associations around Reed? These powerful CAs are lobbying for everyone from 66 to Lee Hwy assigned to Reed. It will absolutely be overcapacity. Even before you make one of these schools an option.[/quote]

Not that they all should be, but that they all could be. Reed could potentially fill every single seat with just walkers. Doesn’t mean it will, but it is in a very dense, highly walkable location. Unlike Tuckahoe.

The Tuckahoe community and AEFC civic association are not serving all of their members well. Some of those units begged to be arc seansonbecause they want to use the trail. Seems to me they would much prefer Reed or McKinely to Tuckahoe, but their desires aren’t being adequately represented by those leading the charge. [/quote]

I agree with this (although I didn't really believe the trail hoopla.)  I also think that those who are jumping on the save Tuckahoe bandwagon have a misperception of what will happen if Tuckahoe is 'saved' as a neighborhood school.  They are contemplating empty schools filled with preschoolers and mythical transfers.  
What will in actuality happen is either 1) Nottingham goes choice or 2) some funky boundaries are drawn with Nottingham, Tuckahoe, and Reed all having narrow finger type boundaries reaching as far as they can East.[/quote]
