[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then when can parents know the location?  Before people have to enroll?  Or after???  We need to know this information. [/quote]

If you really need that information now, then put your kid in a different school.[/quote]

NP here: Don't be a jerk - you know as well as anyone the location of your child's school plays a big role in the logistics of everything - how you get to work, what kind of childcare you have, work schedules, etc...  You also probably have children and don't take lightly the option of moving your child to a new school and uprooting them from their friends and routines.  The Board has promised us this information, but hasn't told us when its coming or what the delay is, both of which would help mitigate the questions and concerns of parents that are in a holding pattern.

If they had all the details buttoned down, they would say so. They clearly don't, and the timing is not 100% within their control.

If they said we're doing X ... and then in a couple months they had to change or amend that, people would understandably go crazy. So they're not confirming anything now.

It's a no-win situation for everyone right now. [/quote]

They could easily say: the factors influencing the decision as to whether we can move for Fall 2018 are X, Y and Z. We anticipate having clarity as to those factors on _____ date.

This is only four months away, people. They are talking about maybe moving FOUR MILES across the city, which adds at least 30 min EACH WAY to many families’ commute time. This is after the administration told families that there was no way they would be in the new building in Fall 2018. Now they are saying “maybe” we will be there, and we can’t yet tell you even WHEN in the next four months you will know where your child will be attending school.

Is it truly that hard to understand why that might be a problem?[/quote]
