[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another option would be to get rid of the automatic right of OOB students at feeders to attend Deal.[/quote]

Sadly, I am starting to come around to this conclusion. I was vehemently opposed to it before...but this does seem like the most viable option. [/quote]

I agree with this route too. I've been saying it for years.[/quote]

+100. I would hate to see any neighborhood be changed before this happens. Otherwise I agree, removing one of these schools isn't enough. Bancroft and Shepherd send about 30-50 kids a year. OOB feeders are more than that combined.[/quote]

Yes, definitely makes sense to put the OOB kids from feeders at a lower order of priority than the in-bounds kids at feeders (although they'd remain at higher priority than OOB not at feeders). And obviously part of this is to cap enrollment at school capacity, and not allow overflow.

But given the numbers coming up the grades, I'm not sure that's enough to get the enrollment down to capacity. Removal of other feeders may be necessary. But that's a good thing because those removed feeders will help support a different middle school. [/quote]

Deal is over 30% OOB that's a good amount. That should be removed before any feeder. Otherwise I would say Lafayette and Shepherd would have to move. Lafayette is ward 4 and accounts for about 1/2 to 1/3 of the feeder students.[/quote]
