[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't like there being a School Board, you're going to LOVE having a DC Council that votes to keep certain blocks inside of certain school boundaries. A Council that requires new boundaries on the Hill. A Council that tweaks the proximity preference. A Council that shrinks the JR boundary or doesn't allow the new high school to move forward.

This is an opening door. Best of luck.[/quote]

I think this has already happened. Look at the crazy Watkins boundaries on the Hill. Honestly, they should redo Hill ES boundaries to make them remotely sensible. There are houses in the Watkins boundary closer to Brent, LT, Maury, Tyler and even Payne than Watkins, which tells you something about how ridiculous the boundary is. And in the cases of Brent and LT, it's not just a few houses; about 1/3 of the zone is closer to at least one of those schools than Watkins. If Peabody is paired with any other school (and it's not clear it should be), it should obviously be Brent or LT, both of which 2x closer to Peabody than Watkins is. The current set up makes absolutely no sense on any level. Brought to you by politicization of school boundaries in days gone by.[/quote]
