[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So someone living 50 steps from Deal would commute to Eastern?[/quote]

The person who raised Eastern here is a disgruntled Oyster parent who is scared of losing their feed to Wilson. Even though Roosevelt is closer to Adams than Wilson is (2.2 vs. 3.3 miles) and MacFarland is closer to Bancroft than Deal is (1.2 vs. 2.9 miles)

They cannot come up with a good argument for keeping the feeder pattern the way it is (because "I want it!" is not a good argument, and uniting bilingual schools, reducing commutes, and managing Wilson's enrollment are things most people support) so they've come up with a non sequitur about Deal and Eastern.

NP.  Facts matter:

Wilson is 2.5 miles from Oyster, and Roosevelt is 3.1 miles from Oyster.  Therefore, based on distance alone, Adams should and will retain its feed to Wilson.

Oyster on Calvert Street is the starting point from where you should measure the distance.  It's the primary campus, and has been so for almost 45 years.  Adams became the second campus in 2007.[/quote]
