[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i support integrated schools but the combined maury/miner elementary school would have been too large to be effective.  think 140 kids and 6+ classrooms per grade.  you also have a lot of younger families that very intentionally chose to buy homes in the maury zone.  if you like the neighborhood but want to more fully avoid those types, id maybe look at payne.[/quote]

The proposal was stupid and poorly thought out. Everyone is fine with boundary adjustments, but the proposal here was a bizarre "paired school" nightmare that would have increased transitions (a bad thing) and increased logistical challenges especially for families with multiple children (a thing that would obviously disproportionately affect the chronically truant families they presumably were trying to help). DME could not point to one example of the proposed model working.

That said, [b]I found the opposition to be very civil (and more civil, frankly, then the proponents who suggested that opposition itself made you a racist).[/b] [/quote]
