[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^I wasn't in the SAWG but I did go to the meetings about what was going to happen at Drew. The parent and PTA communities from Abingdon, Henry, Hoffman-Boston, Oakridge, and I think Randolph too were all participating from the start, because those schools could potentially send students to Drew. I frankly do not understand how there could have been any sort of commitment to draw from only Hoffman-Boston and Oakridge, because doing so doesn't make geographical or numeric sense. [/quote]

Of course it makes sense to draw from SOME of Abingdon's boundary. But Columbia Forest? It's clear in the other direction, 2 miles away from Drew. They had to draw all kinds of crazy gerrymandered lines across multiple big streets to pull that neighborhood into Drew. Those kids will be getting bused past TWO schools that are closer to them, and have no connection whatsoever to Drew's neighborhood. That's no accident, it's APS purposefully sacrificing some students so that more well-off neighborhood kids can go to the highly-rated school of their choice. [/quote]

So what boundaries would you draw from Abingdon then? [/quote]
