[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SWS coming to LT is a non-starter.  1) SWS does not want to co-locate with another school - that's why they left the Cluster.  2)  And even if not co-locating, SWS is not going somewhere where the school community does not embrace them - and while IB families may support SWS, LT as a school community will not embrace them.

If you're going to put forth some effort, you're more likely to succeed with trying to have LT closed and the boundaries re-drawn.[/quote]

I suspect that this PP is right.  But then with halfway decent school buildings/locations in v. short supply (just ask the Two Rivers crowd), particularly on the Hill, SWS might lack a more appealing option than LT in 2 years time.  I wouldn't rule out Van Ness for SWS - the influential Capitol Quarter developers have their ways, with another giant townhouse development breaking ground just south of the highway off NJ Ave. shortly. Whatever the case, with Principal Cobbs on board, LT as a school community won't embrace SWS.  If I were joining the PTA with a preS3 child, I'd focus on ousting her, although a bruising PTA fight would surely result.  Can't see anything v. good happening as long as she stays.

Sorry, what would re-drawing the LT boundaries accomplish?  The grandmother address cheating links are spread around the district, more so the further north and east you go.  Re-draw them to get more of the district to feed into J.O. Wilson?  That might help.
