[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This is 100% about the Farmland/Luxmanor homeowners worried about their propertly value, but they need to frame it as caring about VM and WW "equity" because they can't come out and say: "Hey Taylor, we are jealous that Wyngate and Ashburton homes will be more than us! "[/quote][/b]

Pure projection. I would bet you don't even have kids in any of the schools discussed here. Most families simply care about academic reputation of the high school they would end up in. Equity argument is being used since BOE used it to explain their boundary thinking and then somehow ended up with the recommendation that is less equitable than the least equitable option being discussed.

I do have skin in the games with 3 kids affected in various ways by this study.

I prefer Superintendent recommendation. I rent in what will be new Woodward (current WJ).  My smartest kid can go to WJ with the magnet that the Superintendent has in mind. It'll be the academic rigorous school.  Woodward will never be academically rigorous and shifting 10% farms won't make it so....with fashion design and video game focus. Maybe you all should focus on changing the silly arts magnet rather than worrying about your property values.[/quote]

Actually, many of us do. Art magnet is a horrible choice for a new school, but that is a separate fight. Your strategy to send kid to the humanities magnet may not be feasible if every single parent from the weak Woodward has the same idea, which is another reason to advocate for a more balanced boundary.[/quote]
