[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]It seems that a number of boundary changes that were included in the Advisory Committee recommendations were not included in the final recommendations. Yet, no complaining about wealthy whiners. It's starting to look to me as if the entire city is getting new boundary maps because of Deal and Wilson overcrowding. [/quote] 3 problems with this oversimplistic interpretation: - look at the actual numbers, close to all Ward 3 schools are overcrowded by common standards today - look at the projected numbers, this is only getting worse given trends - the DME.report explicitly identified many other problems, such as overlapping boundaries, areas with no assigned school, too much commuting time and lack of walk ability... Right or wrong, the DME did try its best at planning how to improve THE SYSTEM for everyone. It is predictable that some special interests dont like the results.[/quote]
