Not sure why relieving overcrowding has to mess up the boundary of a school that’s not crowded.[/quote]

Students currently assigned to Wootton will be literally across the street from the new high school at Crown, but you think that Wootton shouldn't be included in the boundary study for the new high school at Crown? How about that.[/quote]

If you mean that triangle, I agree. We’re literally equal distance to both Wootton and crown. Seems we could be bused either way. That kind so of uncertainty is not what I would like to put my kids through. [/quote]

I'm sorry, PP, but when there's a new high school, there's a boundary study to assign people to go to that high school. That's just how it works. It is possible that you will be reassigned from Wootton to Crown, it is possible that you will stay at Wootton. If "will we be assigned to Wootton or to Crown? we don't know!" ranks high on your list of worries, you're leading a fortunate life.[/quote]

Or just someone who truly cares about their kids and already struggle to make ends meet by getting an old house in the desired school area but cannot afford losing 20% of it? Seriously, it won’t affect these who are rich and can live more west and south. [/quote]
DP.. sure, you care about those things, but the BOE is not concerned about your property values, nor should they be.

your kid might take the bus 3 miles one way, then gets rezoned and now takes the bus 3 miles the other way.   Someone is going to have uncertainty.  That's what happens when a new school is built.  If you didn't want any uncertainty, you should have bought literally across the street from the school.   Walk zone literally across the street will never get rezoned.  There are four factors in drawing boundaries.  Diversity is one; geography/proximity is another.  Walkers are not rezoned to be bus riders.[/quote]

It sounds like it’s your fault to not being able to afford living across the street of the high school. And it doesn’t matter how you are going to suffer as long as we meet our diversity goal. Majority of Wootton area falls under the uncertainty map, not because they’re a lot closer to crown, simply just they’re more than two miles away to Wootton. [/quote]
