Clearly, the priorities are causing problems with making boundaries that balance enrollment and maximixe use of each of our buildings.  The priorities need to change.  [/quote

I think that is a legitimate perspective.  I think the staff is reactive to what it thinks the community wants in terms of priorities.

The fighting cry of the Middle School boundary process was 'walkability.'  That leads to the location review with its focus on walkability.
The fighting cry of the South Arlington boundary process was 'don't break up our community, keep henry together,' etc.  That is why leading into this process the primary goal is keeping communities together.

I think there is something to be said for a 'start from a clean slate' perspective- but it is rough on the people impacted.  OTOH, it doesn't make sense to make decisions for the next 10 years so that this friend group doesn't get broken up.  OTOH, kids (and parents) friendships and relationships do matter- my kids will be impacted and I will be sad when they are no longer in school with some close friends.  [/quote]
