[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since the redistricting the Lafayette neighborhood technically may be in Ward 4 but it certainly is not of Ward 4.  Ward 4 has a checkered political history.  It was part of Ward 3 for years and that is how most residents are oriented — west of the Park.  It would be unthinkable if Lafayette no longer fed to Deal and Wilson.[/quote]

Change is hard but not impossible.[/quote]

NP here. It's ridiculous to rezone homes that families likely specifically bought for the school boundaries. It makes a lot more sense to end OOB feeder rights. [/quote]

Well everyone is discussing throwing Shepherd out and I bought in the neighborhood because my child is at Deal.[/quote]

Welcome to the club.  John Eaton fed to Deal for nearly a century and wasn't gerrymandered in.  Yet Mary Cheh was willing to toss deal out like yesterday's dishwater.[/quote]

Why do you all keep saying Shepherd was gerrymandered in? They weren’t a K-8 and there was no New North Middle when the last re-zoning came about. There was no choice but to keep Shepherd in its current path to Deal.[/quote]

Shepherd had only fed Deal for about 10 years at the last re-zone, they used to feed Paul which converted to charter circa 2004. [/quote]

2000. Longer than OOB feeder rights have been around. Also when most of the High SES folks clutching their pearls wouldn’t dare send their kids to Deal or Wilson.[/quote]
