[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys kill me with the Shepherd argument. Shepherd is a school of 300 kids. Only two 5th grade classes. History shows only 25-30 students per year come from Shepherd. How are they contributing to the overcrowding? Choose your battles wisely. This looks like a white wash and I am white saying this.[/quote]

You can't move Lafayette to Coolidge and not move Shepherd. And a middle school with feeders of Brightwood, Takoma, LaSalle-Backus, Shepherd, Lafayette, and Whittier would actually be pretty diverse: in 5-10 years, probably not that different from Hardy now, which is 51% black, 9% Asian, 20% white, and 18% Latino. [/quote]

No room at New North middle, which will be collocates to Coolidge. The kids now in the feeder upper grades (all ECs) will fill it up.

Also let’s be real for a moment. The mayor now has a baby who will be IB for Shepherd. It isn’t being moved out of the feeder pattern anytime soon. [/quote]

The baby is 8 months old, really? By the time that baby is ready for MS the demographics will be completely different. [/quote]

And within 4 years, the mayor is likely no longer to be the mayor.[/quote]

But isn’t the next zoning mission in 2022?[/quote]
