[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Lafayette parent who is vehemently opposed to the idea of moving the entire school to our trailers for 2 years.

HOWEVER - what if they only moved part of the school? PK-1 or whatever. They would then need less trailers at murch, would only need some of the Lafayette trailers, thus allowing the  play space to be rebuilt and some of the field to be reclaimed...

Thoughts?[/quote]

Thoughts are that they are not YOUR trailers. They belong to the city and have been placed at a cost of $7 Million. As a PP noted, it would be nice if the communities could come together to figure out how to solve the problem rather than be obstructionist pricks.

Do you have children at Lafayette? [/quote]

Yes, and I think our residential and school community is being incredibly selfish. It is truly dismaying.

As a Murch parent opposed to the Lafayette swing-space concept, I agree. I'm on the CC listserv, and the tone of the conversation--especially considering how many Murch families live in CC--is a real bummer. Now they want to storm the upcoming Murch renovation meeting. Those meetings are already miserable enough when it's just one school's worth of entitled parents. I can't imagine what this one will be like when the Angry Hordes of Lafayette show up. [/quote]

If murch kids were being asked to share a playground for two years and massively disrupt the surrounding neighborhood for THREE years when there were perfectly viable alternatives, you bet they would react exactly the same way.[/quote]

If there were perfectly viable alternatives, we wouldn't be having this discussion. DGS has been exploring all options; Lafayette is only one of them, and no one's first choice., but it is one of very few that are physically possible and fiscally viable. Lets wait to see what else is on the table.

And I agree, the reaction of some of our neighbors is appalling. [/quote]
