[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, And I think that’s something we can all agree on that’s the schools are getting crowded we are running out of room.

Which is why the “not it” game people are playing with Drew is frustrating.

I’m also unsure of what they plan to do with Henry down the road. Will it be torn down for the new HS? If so what’s the point of all of this? We need a new neighborhood school in SA not a fancy new school that just moves an existing old school. [/quote]

But frankly, I support the "not it" if it's a question of violating all the criteria. Move PUs that are closer and can help with diversity AND efficiency. Don't create a terrible boundary that will set things in stone for the foreseeable future. Since we aren't getting another new school here for at least ten years, they have to get this right. It's an entire cohorts' elementary experience. The boundary they presented is shameful. It's neither rooted in diversity, proximity, contiguity, nor alignment. It's basically moving around people who don't have a brigade of t-shirts as their representatives. They can and should do better. It doesn't just matter that they send some PUs to Drew. It also matters WHICH ONES. Unless you think the kids who are on fr/l are better served in a highly segregated high poverty school. I do not. Science does not. [/quote]
