[quote=Anonymous]Don't even get me started on that sham of a survey that they did during the GBW/poplar tree process.

I personally don't hate centers.  But the overcrowding the center was creating was outrageous.  And poplar tree was under enrolled.  A redistrict of some sort needed to happen.  Sending the poplar tree kids back to their base school was the most logical solution.  My personal opinion was that they shouldn't have involved the Brookfield children or cub run (?) and made poplar tree the center for pt and Colin Powell AAP students.

Yes, redistricts suck.  But if your school in your neighborhood was overcrowded by 260+ students, and there was an under enrolled school right down the street, what would you want done?

However, I still don't get why it is horrific to suggest kids be moved, especially in the scenario we were facing.   I wanted them to go farther and move the rising 5th graders, as they had done a few years before in a non-center related redistrict.  But apparently, that was just a step too far according to the school board.  Can't overcrowd poor poplar tree - we'll just leave GBW 150+ kids over.[/quote]
