[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good way to keep diversity at Hardy, deal, and JR while reducing overcrowding would be to end feeder rights. If you get in to hyde-addison for Pre-K, it shouldn't guarantee you a space through 12th grade. There are families that can't get a little kid across town but would enter the middle school or HS lottery. [/quote]

This would be terrible for school community and the kids who have attended the feeders since PK or whatever. “Sorry little Timmy, it’s sixth grade, time for a new oob poor kid!”[/quote]

True.  But half of them cone in 4th or 5th grade *because of* the feeder rights.  I'm not saying that's wrong of them -- that's what the system offers.

However, a rule created with the goal of not separating kids from their long-time friends has had the unintended consequence of driving overcrowding at Deal and J-R.[/quote]

My bad. I thought someone was suggesting booting feeder rights only to replace those kids with a separate cohort of at-risk kids through the lottery for deal/JR.  [/quote]
