[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't going to have much of an effect on the PK-elementary schools at least in the neighborhoods I know, but what about middle and highschools liek basis and latin?  Also this opens teh door for a real proximity preference in  the future, which will just turn pockets of NE into real estate similar to NW.  My house, close to lamb, would probably go up 50,000 grand over night.  Goof for no one.[/quote]

Preference is for elementary kids[/quote]

got it, thanks![/quote]

Where are you getting this information? I couldn't find Bowser's proposed language, but the article says "elementary aged" children, which absolutely could apply to Latin (starts in 5th) depending on how that is defined.[/quote]

Latin defines its school as middle school and upper. Not elementary [/quote]

While that may be correct, the policy has yet to be finalized. But if in its final form it retains language that states it applies to "elementary school-aged" children, then it could apply to 5th graders that want to enter Latin. Recall that Bowser had some upset neighbors of Latin at some event where they had to inform her that the school being across the street from them is likely of no benefit since there was no proximity preference. And if this is an optional preference (as reported), then Latin needs to decide whether or not to apply it. If they choose not to, I'd imagine that wouldn't help neighborhood relations.[/quote]
