[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone actually calculated how many families who would want Sws live in that proximity zone and what percentage of the other school boundary area would be affected?  It must be tiny. Also, what evidence is there that these families would actually use their underenrolled inboundary schools ( as opposed to charters or another school OOB ).   There is a lot of hyperbole going on about just a few people. It won't make or break LT. And [b]a guarantee of immediate neighborhood support for Sws would be a benefit to the school.[/b][/quote]

Actually, "a guarantee of immediate neighborhood support" is totally and completely unnecessary.  There has been a school there - for years - for students with special needs, and it goes all the way to 8th grade.  If anything, the new group of students will be less potential disruption than the ones that the neighbors are already accustomed to, and there won't be any buses either.  They (the neighbors) should be happy no matter what.

The denial/anger/bargaining of the Hill parents in general and the LT neighbors in particular [url=http://grief.com/the-five-stages-of-grief/]looks very familiar[/url].  It's time to move on to the acceptance stage.[/quote]
