[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of clustering Miner and Maury, why not just shift a big chunk of Maury's boundary to Miner? I know they're trying to appease families who would be shifted out of Maury by clustering the schools, but given how the Peabody/Watkins Cluster families are reacting to the loss of their bus, a Cluster seems like a big head-ache.[/quote] Why not budget the appropriate amount of money to renovate the building so it can serve all the students in its boundary? This city has wasted millions on construction projects for schools that have half as many kids as Maury. Look at that money pit Garrison![/quote] From looking at the presentation, it seems that there's a concern about having that many students on the lot size. [b]Why not 'right-size' the boundary and the lot size so that you don't have to keep expanding the school every few years? [/b] It seems like Maury is heading the way of Ward 3 schools with constant overcrowding. Unlike Ward 3 schools, there is excess capacity in nearby buildings. And - no, I'm neither a Maury or a Miner parent, but[/quote] Because families like mine purchased homes with the expectation they could send their children to the neighborhood school. Having that right to the neighborhood school put in jeopardy every 2 years is not fair and no other neighborhood has been put through it [/quote] But you'll have a neighborhood school either way even if boundary is re-drawn.[/quote]
