[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will be a lot of other options on the table when the time comes, and the chances of Lafayette or Shepherd actually being rezoned as very small.

You should buy the house you like in the community you like. [/quote]

Seriously - what are the other options?

Moving Lafayette from Deal/Wilson to Coolidge isn't even dramatic at all - for a good part of the Lafayette population it is just as fast to drive across the park as it is to drive to Deal.

Murch, Janney and Hearst are all within walking distance of Deal/Wilson.

Where would you re-locate Stoddert, Key or Mann that is less of a trek than it is across the park from Lafayette to Coolidge?

So what are the other options?[/quote]

I think the only other viable option for reducing crowding at Deal and Wilson (and their feeder elementary schools) is ending feeder rights. As in, OOB students who lottery into Murch or Lafayette are not entitled to attend the schools they feed to—Deal and Wilson. Once you finish 5th grade, you need to re-lottery into Deal as an OOB student, a charter, or attend your IB middle school.[/quote]

That doesn't solve the numbers problem today and definitely won't solve it tomorrow.[/quote]
