[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's up with the Shepherd hater on this thread? They have not mentioned Bancroft not once.[/quote]
Have no fear.  If I were managing the boundary plan, I'd look at pushing Bancroft out of the Deal orbit too.  They must have a lot of political suction to have avoided getting re-zoned the first time.  And to be clear, I don't consider myself a "hater" at all.  I have several good friends in all those neighborhoods, and live pretty close to SP.  But they're all the farthest neighborhoods from Deal, and they've got other nearby middle school options.

Quite frankly, I think the best plan would have been for the DME to cut all three out of Deal, and give all three rights to MacFarland or some other centrally located EOTP middle school, so they could form the nucleus of that school.  I think cutting small pieces of neighborhoods out of Deal in little bites is a bad move, because the tiny number of people removed are not enough to reinvigorate another school - the task is just too daunting.  So instead, as Jeff suggested in his PP, the small numbers will look at other options.  But if the Mayor's office shifts a big group of people, they have a better chance to thrive by working together.[/quote]

You live close to SP? Do you live in Lafayette bounds? You do know Lafayette has just as much a chance of getting cut as Shepherd right? Bowser has said over and over (and many other potential mayors that will succeed her), they will not cut off access to WOTP schools from EOTP kids. [/quote]
