[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ Drew parent here. I don't think we need to go all VIVA SALA given the current predicament. Whether or not North Arlington wants poor students in their schools, the current reality as I accept it is that *no one* wants to be bused far away and we can't afford it anyway. The choice that I and the Henry parent have a dispute over is between keeping a school community basically entirely intact, or shaving some of that community off to go to Drew and help its FARMS rate. North Arlington can't solve that problem for us given circumstances as they currently exist. [/quote]

I think you are overestimating the effect that those planning units would have. They are not “wealthy” and have few SFHs (lots of apts and condos). [/quote]

I did the math based on the numbers they gave us and those units are roughly 1/3 fr/l with about 150 kids. Drew is roughly 80-85%. Based on those numbers, and not accounting for transfers or opting out or any other unknowns, those units would help. Happy to be shown to be wrong, if I am. If there's truly nothing to be done, I can accept that. I am not presently persuaded that's true though. [/quote]
