This is utter nonsense. First, about 20% of last year's fifth grade class did move -- into the Deal boundaries, to another state, in one case to another country -- and all of them moved because of the middle school situation.

$59,290) but that's nowhere near private school money. There are a lot of people in Palisades who can afford private school, but even more who can't.
