[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think it would be a huge long-term mistake not to zone the deal feeders that are closer to the new wells middle school to wells[/quote]

Isn’t Shepherd the only one?[/quote]

Lafayette is 10 minutes. [/quote]

Dude, they’re not moving Lafayette.[/quote]

They have talked about rerouting a percentage of Lafayette. Which, dude, is a sound idea. [/quote]

I think it is unlikely that there will be a split feeder (ie that some kids who are IB for Lafayette are sent to Wells and others to Deal). A big part of the last boundary process was eliminating split geographic feeders--there are some programmatic splits for schools that have dual-language and monolingual programs. However, I could see them redrawing the Lafayette boundary so some kids are zoned for schools that keep the Deal feed, and the kids who remain IB for Lafayette would have Wells as their destination school.

If I had to guess what will happen, the recommendation will be to shift Lafayette and Shepherd to Wells. Lafayette parents will be louder and get their school to stay IB for Deal. Then Shepherd + people who care about Deal/JR's racial makeup not getting whiter will start to complain about that, and with MacArthur providing a release valve, they'll leave things as they are. Deal will stay overcrowded, though some slight boundary tweaks and removing Bancroft from the feeder will help a bit with that.  [/quote]
