They're really leaning on that "if possible" with the new Wilson boundary.

Can't say I'm surprised to see SE/SW cut out but I am pissed.  Mostly at Tommy Wells, who (unlike Bowser or Graham, say what you will about them) did absolutely nothing to try and keep folks in Wilson.  He is totally in the pocket of folks on Capitol Hill who want to see Eastern improved and don't care that there were kids in Ward 6 who actually had a shot at attending a good high school.  Wells said at a community meeting that he'd never met any constituents who'd bought in SW because it was inbounds for Wilson.  He is a moron.[/quote]

SE/SW should have never been in Wilson's boundary in the first place.

Now, Eastern has all of the ingredients to be a great school; facility, academic program, student population, etc.  Are the adults finally going to start working together?[/quote]

You're forgetting the most important ingredient: at least one excellent middle school.  Most Capitol Hill families that I know are much too focused on the middle school situation to spend any time thinking about improving Eastern down the road.  I'm no fan of Wells, but he most certainly didn't have the political capital to continue the SE/SW feed to Wilson and, even of he did, there is no principled basis for doing so.  [/quote]
