[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t NVD’s SB anymore. I think Bab’s is willing to entertain possibilities. 
O’Grady loves choice
Reid literally lives in the Randolph neighborhood

This is as good as we could possibly hope. I don’t think it’s outlandish to consider this ( VERY SMALL) boundary adjustment. It’s barely a change at all. 
But I do hope people are getting some clarity about this situation. 
We all won’t be at Fleet.
We all won’t make it into Henry/Montessori 
We might have slots at Key ( have fun with that drop off)
If we keep things as they are Randolph and Barcroft both continue to have crappy demographics. 
We might be able to boost one. 
Pick your poison.

So let me get this straight, you're advocating that the SB bus all the poor kids that live in your neighborhood to a different neighborhood school? Okay. Have fun with that.

Also, if you're going to pick a school to boost, you might want to start with the one that already has a significantly lower fr/l rate, is in better physical condition, and has a higher PTA budget. Seems like you're going for the more challenging turn around. I wonder why that is.

I am not zoned to Randolph. I’m looking at the map and trying to figure out how you turn the ship around. It was said up thread that we focus on one school at a time. I think this is a sound idea. I’m not sure where you are getting “ bus all the poor kids that live in my neighborhood” from. Please look at the map (you don’t seem very familiar). There is plenty of Barcroft Apartments-  not to mention Quebec, Westmont garden, Oakland’s, and eventually the new CAF’s project going up at The Presbyterian Church that would remain in bounds. 
What other school are you suggesting we target, and how do we get there?
The goal being farms rate under 60%.
