[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]38% school is out of boundary. Just eliminate that and I guarantee you’ll see crime decrease in tenley.

Sorry but it needs to be said.

If that won’t happen, there should be cops all over Tenley for a year the nip it in the butt. [/quote]

The city just kicked out a huge percentage of the in-boundary students and sent them to MacArthur to ensure that a large percent of both schools will always be out of boundary (the feeder middle-schools won't come close to filling up either highschool). A lot of people missed that that was what MacArthur was about - making sure that Ward 3 doesn't have a local high school, and that all the high schools in Ward 3 are de facto city-wide schools.[/quote]

This is what Bowser meant when she promised “Alice Deal for all.”  (Excluding of course certain Ward 3 neighborhoods that had fed to Deal for 70 yearss).  Bowser has been even more successful with “Spreading crime to all.”[/quote]

We were a model OOB family--invested, volunteered, participated. It works somewhat at elementary level. I wouldn't be opposed to a cap. Something breaks down in High School though. Maybe because parents aren't physically bringing their kids? Maybe the kids feel like it's their playground, not their neighborhood? Maybe schools like JR don't have enough family engagement? Maybe the school-community contract (I believe there is one) isn't being honored in any way? Maybe because the admin has zero visibility? It needs to be looked at. Tenleytown Main Street is not being treated as a community (even OOB community) 'hub'. It's being really disrespected as a neighborhood center. Which is its function.[/quote]

So do you assume that it's just the OOB students who are throwing trash on the ground? My kid was inbound and I know it's not just the OOB. [/quote]

No, I don't. But I see zero school-community partnership, and I assume some kids are and a high number are OOB. So, both?[/quote]
