[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SH is in need of a facility renovation and EH is in need of a complete facility/educational renovation.  I know other PPs have tried to point this out but EH will never get that renovation if SH gets theirs.  It just won't happen to two MS in Ward 6.  So unless EH (and its feeders) gets their act together the Cluster will roll over everyone leaving all the non-Cluster children without a viable MS option. [/quote]

And my favorite part is that that most pro-cluster anti-charter families do not send their teens to Eastern. "Neighborhood schools are so important." Hypocrites.[/quote]

I was around back in 2012 for those conversations and I did not find them persuasive because they ignored the fact that SH was working somewhat while EH was not.  We lost the MS lottery and are now trying to figure out what to do so I'm not disinterested in a MS solution.  But you can't take away something that is working (albeit somewhat) in the hopes of something working out down the road - there are immediate families that are counting on that already existing option.  And the years between 2012 and now saw the vast majority of CH MS students going to Latin and BASIS - no one is going to buy that those families would have opted for EH instead.[/quote]
