[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any DCC people/orgs starting to pull things together?  People we should contact if we want to get involved?  Facebook groups or listservs where we can communicate about this?  (If folks are creating new ones, probably makes sense for it to be focused on looking out for the DCC's interests both around the boundary study and program analysis/proposed DCC abolishment?  Or just a broader DCC-families-united type group that can include but not be limited to advocacy for those goals?)  Sign-on letters being drafted and circulated?

I don't have the capacity to start any of them myself but would love to plug in if they're moving elsewhere.  And I think if we don't start organizing and coordinating ourselves in those ways we're not going to succeed.[/quote]

What issues do you see as common for the "DCC Community" to advocate around in regards to the boundary study and program analysis? The reality is the DCC is large with a lot of economic diversity. My home is in-bounds for Einstein. I've had kids at Blair and Einstein and of course know families with kids at other DCC schools. These are middle class and upper middle class families (the most likely to know about these issues and to advocate), and I'm not sure there would be a lot of agreement amongst them about what we should be advocating for in terms of the DCC community.[/quote]

DP - not getting rid of the DCC, for one?  I don’t know any parents here who want that.  And if they insist on getting rid of it, DCC high schools should *all* have advanced academic options for kids.

Those seem like pretty universal issues.[/quote]
