[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those interested, Murch boundaries mostly reverted, except:

-a couple of blocks at the southern boundary go to Hearst
-north of Military and west of Connecticut goes to Lafayette (which makes sense, since Lafayette is projected to shrink over time and Murch is predicted to grow)[/quote]

The only weird thing about the Murch-Lafayette switch is that the report also identifies Lafayette as an overcrowded school whose boundaries need to shrink.

Even weirder the Post map has a piece of Hearst moving to Murch.  I assume that almost no public school kids live in that piece, but it seems strange given that they are shrinking the boundaries elsewhere.  Why switch a current Murch family if you are going to replace them with a Hearst family?   Maybe the Post just made a mistake?[/quote]

I think they swapped a very dense few blocks of Murch in North Cleveland Park for a sparse few blocks of Hearst in Forest Hills. So way more kids going from Murch to Hearst than the other direction. But I agree that it's a little weird--why switch those couple of blocks in Forest Hills to Murch?

In terms of Murch/Lafayette, I think the premise is that Lafayette will be renovated by the time the new boundaries take effect, and over time its population will go down as Murch's goes up. [/quote]
