[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like a huge expansion of SH boundary, but Brent still missed out.  Of course, many of the kids with proposed new rights could have gotten there through Watkins.[/quote]

It looks to me like the only addition to SH is JO Wilson, but I can't tell where JO Wilson feeds now, so it could already be SH.  If this is a new feed, it makes a lot more sense than a Brent feed, since JO Wilson is very walkable to SH.  I walk by both schools (from my home IB for LT) every weekend on my way to Union Market.  They are very close together. [/quote]

JO Wilson already feeds to SH. So no actual change. I think the subtext is that the Cluster is being broken up - Peabody/Watkins is listed as one school, SH another. No mention of the CH Cluster anymore.[/quote]

It looks to me like the proposal says just the opposite.  Instead of thinking of them as two boundaries clustered together, they are simply reclassifying them as one boundary zone.  It is a semantic change but not a real change from the perspective of what kids go where.  In that case, the SH boundary didn't change at all. [/quote]

I think that is true for Peabody/Watkins, but not so sure about SH still being part of a singular school with the other two. The semantic change indicates less about the feeder than about the structure of SH as a stand-alone MS. [/quote]
