[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve looked through some posts, but it seems unclear about this boundary process. Right now, our home would be rezoned to Eaton - Hardy - MacArthur from Oyster Adams to Jackson Reed. Does anyone know if this will change feeder rights to Jackson Reed after 8th grade for a student in kinder now? How can the district take this on with no transparency whatsoever? I found out about a meeting last week and a recommendation for upending families lives is being made without any input?![/quote]

You’re getting an upgrade. Relax.[/quote]

How so?[/quote]

John Eaton is a fantastic school, Hardy is a really great middle school with excellent new leadership and MacArthur is predicted to be way, way better than JR, especially by the time it has any relevance to your family.[/quote]

Eaton is absolutely a fantastic school but there are many of us Eaton families who oppose this proposal. OP is correct that [b]the decision is being made without input from the school communities or really much thought as to the ripple effects.[/b]  All they are doing is shifting students from one overcrowded school to a school that will immediately become overcrowded.[/quote]

There have been many, many meetings and many opportunities for input. And they are considering the effects -- just on lots of communities, not just yours.[/quote]

Many, many public meetings? About this boundary change? OP just found out about it last week and the Eaton community just last month and with no publicized follow up meeting to address our concerns.

I agree that the conversation about school size and boundaries needs to be had in many, many public meeting and with many opportunities for input on how the proposed changes affect all communities. Please let us know when these meeting are occurring. [/quote]

This has been in the news since last year:

It takes just paying even a half second of attention.[/quote]

I’m talking about this particular boundary issue, which, to my recollection, wasn’t addresses at those meetings. [/quote]
