[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Organize and lobby dcps!  Did you see how many communiies thought their schools were going to close and then they presented well thought out plans and voila, school saved?  Go for it.[/quote]

No point in lobbying since its a majority of SWS PARENTS wanting a city-wide draw.  If you attended last week's parents planning meeting, you're aware that this is the case.

The Stanton-North of Lincoln Park neighborhood has never been in-bounds for Peabody/Watkins, with its long oval-shaped district stretch far east on the Hill, so these parents are not inclined to make it a neighborhood school for the Prospect neighborhood.  Everybody knows that the LT parents don't like their school above around K, but they're finding other options as it is, particularly language immersion schools in Brookland and Inspired Teaching.   So just another option on the menu for the Stanton Park crowd.  This change will help them, not as much as they'd surely like but it will.

There are too many neighborhood families investing in LT, both high-SES and low-SES, and too many others investing happily in charters, for the neighborhood parents to override the vision of most of the SWS parents.
