[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you kidding? Do you know anything about the budget issues this year? Preserving "options" for Langley parents at a cost isn't really on the school board's top priority. You sound ridiculously entitled. Kilmer is way overcrowded and already has two feeders to high school. The kids moving back to Cooper from what I understand will all go onto Langley. They will be surrounded by children of affluent parents in a school that won't be overcrowded and the change will bring relief to Kilmer and Longfellow which are overcrowded. [b]Do the Kilmer kids get other options too?[/quote][/b]

Two high school feeders sound like options to me. Basically a lot of parents will be choosing Cooper anyway for a myriad of reasons. In fact, from the data they presented last night, most parents from Colvin Run and Spring Hill are already choosing Cooper over Kilmer. It's the Churchill Road parents (Level IV center) that haven't drunk the Kool-Aid and they feed to Longfellow. So why not preserve the choice? There are a lot of reasons why a parent might decide Cooper is a better option than the center or vice versa depending on social factors or lots of other reasons beyond academia.

If they truly decide to get rid of the MS options they should get rid of ES centers too. Why should kids from Kent Gardens and Spring Hill come to Churchill and then get split up again in MS? Kent Gardens kids have to go to Longfellow and they lose all of their friends from Churchill in the process. If my Kent Gardens kid bonds better with your Churchill kid, too bad. Ridiculous!
