[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way I read it:

McMahon is not in favor of Reed as a neighborhood school.  She understands the interest, but wants to expand option schools.  "It may seem easier to simply establish an option program in a new school, rather than considering
an existing neighborhood school location. "

O'Grady says she wants to investigate ways that the neighborhood can be guaranteed access to the school.  That's v. questionable considering the SB is voting in June to do away with neighborhood preference.  It's all "investigate" without any committment.

Lander flat out supports Reed as a neighborhood school.That's all he said.

The way I read it is that McMahon isn't committing one way or the other before being elected. O'Grady's answer was slightly more finessed, but yeah, she's not going to be able to make it another neighborhood/choice hybrid when we're just updating the transfer policies to move away from that. It will be one or the other. But she's savvy enough not to come out and say that she supports a choice school there, and technically she's not making a promise she can't keep since she's just talking about investigating. Lander, as usual, is going straight for the easy votes.

Yeah, it perplexes me to see O'Grady signs near Reed.  She's not going to help those residents.[/quote]
