[quote=Anonymous]I think all current areas of the boundary should be retained to the extent possible and I do not actually think there is overcrowding.  I also think some things were said in the heat of the moment on both sides of Wisconsin that turned the other side off.  East of Wisconsin the argument was made that they were more entitled to Janney than families farther west because families east of Wisconsin walk to school and those that already drive can just drive farther.  West of Wisconsin the argument was made that the area east of Wisconsin has long been the target for redistricting and everyone knew that.  It is an anomaly area that is walking distance to multiple schools because the schools are clustered together.

IMHO, the reality is that Janney has enough space for the foreseeable future and we should not be redistributing students to make space for set asides that likely won't even be used to help at risk kids because of the logistics involved.  Frankly, I have no interest in moving any current families out to make room for kids from high SES families EOTP that wanted a bigger house so chose not to buy where they want to send their kids to school.  I also think that this has damaged the relationships within the Janney community.  I hope it will settle down.

Janney is a great community, this thread has done nothing to change my perspective but the boundary debate was not pretty and I can see how it caused a rift.[/quote]
