[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, that is not good for Claremont. I sympathize with them. But they had to realize that would change because too many people had the same idea and the immersion program became captive to that and the other two neighborhoods. They were victim of their own success in getting in.

I live in barcroft. I know we are too far west to be zoned for a future CC site. The CC site will come on line when my kid starts going there. If the SB continues drawing boundaries to increase segregation, like did just did, twice, will move. We may move before hand since the SB has screwed Kenmore.[/quote]

How was Kenmore screwed?[/quote]

Not PP, but I'm pretty upset that they chose the option that both pushed Kenmore over capacity and increased the fr/l rate. The option that would have moved Immersion there was a lot better for both of those considerations, and would have made a lot of sense since they are string considering moving at least one of the ES immersion programs to that site. They'll likely have to revisit this issue that they just decided. [/quote]

+1  - I couldn't understand why they scrapped moving the immersion option so quickly - seemed like there were a lot more Spanish speakers at Kenmore, close to elementary immersion program, and more centrally located (somewhat), because Gunston is really a haul for some people who want to continue immersion in middle school. On top of that, it had lower FRL rates for Kenmore and TJ - I think.  I HOPE they will look at the MS boundaries one more time.[/quote]

In a world where decisions were made based on logic, there'd be an immersion elementary school at Carlin Springs. Kenmore would house the immersion middle school program and W-L would be its home for high school. All relatively close, all close to the N/S, E/W line. [/quote]
