[quote=Anonymous]NP. Couple of observations:
1. There is an end game in staff's mind we don't know about. I know that is always suspected, but here literally there is a second act coming in a few years. As a sidenote, I would beware any promises made now because they can be forgotten or disregarded by then, too. Exhibit A: SAWG.
2. Montessori is two-thirds FRL. Period. If anything, it might be much more this year as there are several unfilled slots via lottery. Lottery is UMC 1/3rd...and not all slots filled. It could be really interesting to find out why. Rumor is it of a claim of breakdown in central registration (this was first year, and I know for a fact it was a mess). But does cutting overall population serve some other purpose?
3. Montessori put blood, sweat and tears and money into Drew. That was Montessori's school building for decades, along side the model program. Montessorians are beyond rapproach for what happens to Drew PTA now. Sure, you can say "wouldn't it be nice if they devoted some parents to helping Drew PTA get stood up." But it didn't happen before, and not for lack of trying. And, what school's PTA would be responsible for another's?
4. North Arlington: you're now on the hook for a generation of tax hikes to subsidize the lower-income enclaves you created in SA. This isn't a diversity rant or lament about fair. That's a fiscal reality check. [/quote]
