[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't tuned in a while and just looking at the final decisions.

So Reed will be over capacity and a bunch of those McKinley families are just on the chopping block again in 2 years and oh yeah, Reed is going to have no fields for the first year.  And the McKinley people fought for this?  I suppose it's what they're used to.  Pack them in and no green space.

Yep, and the kids in my neighborhood who are easily walkable to Reed get bussed to Tuckahoe and then get to be the new kids at Reed in two years.  It's not a tragedy, but it's stupid.[/quote]

This is sort of the ongoing problem with boundary issues.  Families with kids already in the school have an outsize voice, and they always push for no changes to the current arrangement.  Whereas families with younger kids are usually unaware of the discussion, and then their kid starts kindergarten and they are like, wait why do I ride a bus to school instead of going to that school right there.[/quote]
