[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The simplest solution is to make Hardy more in-bounds. That means moving Oyster, Eaton and maybe Hearst to Hardy. This is also the most dangerous solution, for an influx of Hearst, Eaton and Oyster may be enough to prompt Mann and Key students to stay on as well, and then the school could eventually find itself over capacity with just in-bounds kids.

I was actually speaking to a Mann mom today. Her oldest is 8, I think. She mentioned she (and others) are expecting to send their kids to Hardy. [/quote]

Hearst prek is increasingly IB, so I bet a high percentage will end up feeding whichever middle school in the future. [/quote]

Taking Hearst out of Deal would make for fairly strange geographical patterns.  The north boundary of Hearst is closer to Deal than parts of Murch or Janney, and all of Lafayette.  (Yes clearly parts of Janney and clearly Murch are closer, and parts of Hearst are farther, but most of Hearst is quite close to Deal.)  You could also potentially have a strange wrap-around shape if Bancroft stays in.[/quote]

As-the-crow-flies measurements without considering the alternative options are silly. The point is that it's easier to move Hearst to Hardy than to move Lafayette anywhere at present, regardless that Hearst is closer to Deal than Lafayette. [/quote]

If you want to make that argument, you could just as easily move Janney.  I don't think it likely, but it is just as "easy".[/quote]
