[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in a Yorktown unit not far from WL boundaries and I would fight tooth & nail if we were redistricted to [b]a less-than school[/b].[/quote]

Are you defining less-than by facilities or school demographics? What would keep you from "fighting tooth and nail"?[/quote]

PP from earlier.  This is why I suggested making another hb.  if not then do a blind lottery from all PUs near WL, which would include ours.  Then have a public drawing. Of course some balancing should be done it too dump all farms kids there. Efforts should be made to replicate WL's current demographics. If you don't know who ch school you will end up intou will most likely support equitable treatment for jenmore.

I wouldn't mind having another HB mod,e program- clearly there's demand, and with high school enrollment growing And the chances of getting into HB are proportionally even smaller.  But I thought during the last go-round, when the decoision was made to move to Rosslyn, it was also decided that HB needs to be capped at around 700 (800?) kids (6th through 12th graders) or the model won't work.  I don't know how we would get 1300 high school seats out of an HB unless something was changed.[/quote]
