[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]

OK, I am with one of those CAs, and you are mischaracterizing the letter. We endorsed the integrated design and said that the School Board should honor the BLPC charter to keep Reed a neighborhood school. We are well aware that there are six planning units in the area between Washington Blvd and 66 that are technically in the walk zone to both Reed and McKinley, but nobody is arguing that they should all go to Reed. We fully expect that some of them will remain at McKinley because we understand the math. The walk zone task forces of both buildings are talking to neighbors (and to each other) and trying to work that out. There is definitely a way to comfortably fit everyone into Reed and McKinley without relying on Tuckahoe. Reed will be 725 seats and McKinley is 685 seats- these are big buildings. Sorry, I know that isn't what you want to hear, but the math just doesn't come out in Tuckahoe's favor when you get into the weeds of it.[/quote]
