[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is Mary Cheh's view on OOB feeder rights? I can't see that ever being a politically viable stance to go back on that.[/quote]

Not sure, but I know she is in favor of building a new middle school in upper NW.  That would solve the Deal vs "raw Deal" (Hardy) problem.[/quote]

Your statement is about 2 year old. She's now moved on, as the idea did not prove as popular as she had thought, and because Hardy has now leapfrogged and the increased number of actual IB parents (as well as a large group of IB prospective parents now working with the school) would see this as an hostile move.

What I know is that she is committed to protecting the present feeder rights of her constituency.[/quote]

Like she did for Eaton?[/quote]

So far, Mary Cheh has done jack sh@# for Eaton.[/quote]

During the boundary process she called for a meeting with her Ward 3 constituents at Chevy Chase Library. We were about 40 parents in total, and I recall only one parent from Eaton attending , from the PTO (and he was not even a Ward 3 resident).

Maybe someone from Eaton can respond, but I thought they had a petition with many, many signatures?[/quote]

It takes nothing to collect signatures. Meeting with your voters who point fingers and tell you that they will hold you accountable for boundary unfavorable outcomes (such as a group of Stoddert + Mann/Hardy parents) is a different things. I was surprised by their number and cohesion. Then there was a smaller delegation (I was part of) from Oyster. I recall just one parent from Eaton.[/quote]
