[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11:58 here -- meant to add this is ass backwards.  Don't move kids from a failing school across town, make those schools better by addressing the underlying causes of the problem, e.g. poverty, broken familes, etc.  And, have at least some OOB set asides.  The brutal truth is that in contrast to some families from EOTP that exert great efforts to get their kids into and commute to good schools, and invest in those schools, families from Deal/Wilson (and I am one of them) simply will not trepse across town to Eastern to make it better when most of us have the means to simply move to the burbs.  It's unfortunate but it is true.  [/quote]

Nothing unfortunate about it -- it makes perfect sense -- as much as it's sensible for engaged, able oob parents to schlep their kids to ward 3 (until 2015, at least) , and that it's sensible to provide services for kids with unengaged, unable parents near where they live.

But we're not talking about what's sensible here -- we're dealing with people in leadership who want to make a grand gesture.[/quote]
