[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Staff can't win here.  If they produce a well thought out plan and defend it, they are accused of not listening to community feedback and having a predetermined outcome.
If they put out their initial thoughts as plans they are accused of coming up with half baked plans without doing the work to back it up.
Here- they clearly spent the summer working on the best plans they could get to.  They are 'showing their work' in that in the engagement sessions they are showing some other plans they thought about and why they discarded them.  [/quote]

But here's the problem -- they're not "showing their work".  They're saying, we see the work and you need to trust us that it'll all work out -- and McK got burned the last time they did this.  I think "showing their work" would alleviate a lot of the concerns many parents have.  Clearly they know which planning units they're planning to send to each school: they couldn't have formulated this plan without it.  But they're NOT showing.  [/quote]

Huh? That data has been available for a while on the engage website. It’s there if you want it.

It does not show which planning unit is moving where.  [/quote]

That hasn't been definitively decided yet. The boundary process will shake out those details.

But they did share their assumptions on PUs for the proposals on one of the spreadsheets. The walker analysis has all PUs for the proposals.

Some guy put it on a map too if you want to see it.
