[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not gonna lie, if they move to Kingsbury, I will be thrilled! (LAMB parent here). The campus is beautiful - and within walking distance! Hopefully then they will consider some sort of bus system for the folks not in Ward 4. [/quote]

If they don't, be prepared for a battle. Wards 5 6 7 8 won't let this slide. [/quote]

LAMB is not going to organize a bus system. If parents want one, the parents will have to organize and pay for it.

Wards 6, 7, and 8 account for 12% of current enrollment. A material percentage, but still very much a minority. I don't know how much W5 families (as I'm not one) will fight a consolidation at Kingsbury. We, parents, knew Walter Reed is our future for MS and HS.[/quote]

Then be prepared for letters to come in from parents who feel this is a great way to whiten the white school.

And also be prepared for us to testify to the fact that other schools are expanding into wards 8 (Mundo, stokes). Why should lamb be approved to go in the other direction.  We will force their hand.

And of course I love how this move, so close to another good bilingual school reduces bilingual access to the rest of the city. Now the rich get two tries to get into a bilingual school.

I don't care what the school wants or doesn't want. They will be forced into it.
