[quote=Anonymous]^ Interesting, but the Stanton Park neighborhood a "high need" area?   A high demand area to be sure, but need and gentrifier don't tend to be closely associated.

Great, the idea of granting a proximity preference for a LT as a charter will be bandied about for a year or two.  The sad fact is, before the  2014 election cycle, nothing much will move on education in the Distrct.

When I head to the Turtle and LP playgrounds, I often feel jealous of the evident cohesiveness strong community schools (Brent and Maury respectively) fuel in those neighborhoods.  The parents of tiny tots, and the future students themselves, in those swathes of the Hill obviously have stronger ties to one another than the Stanton Park crowd.  Knowing that most of the tiny kids will be in school together for nearly a decade motivates parents to go out of their way to get to socialize, to arrange playdates.

Rumor has it that some LT parents are emailing the powers that be to fight proximity for SWS so as not to undermine LT.   Is this true?
