[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any changes to which schools are in which regions?[/quote]

No, they can't change that, it's already baked into all of the boundary stuff.

(Hence why they couldn't tweak any of the Region 1 high schools to help with the capacity concerns at the Region 3 high schools-- [b]they already decided where the borders are between all regions, so no elementary schools on the Region 3 side of the line could be sent in whole or in part to anywhere on the Region 1 side of the line, despite there being hundreds of spaces to spare at Northwood and other schools.[/b])[/quote]

Yup.  They really shot themselves in the foot with that call...unless they were trying to protect the current assignments of the wealthiest neighborhoods, which that decision ensured with flying colors.[/quote]

Funny - they had no issues moving Fields Road Elementary from a region 5 high school to a region 4 high school. [/quote]

Not in any of A through H.  The contractor running the options was prohibited from doing that.  The superintendent had the flexibility to change that in his recommendation, and did so to make the preferred option work a bit better, but, unlike that, which had the benefit of overwhelming admin focus drawn by the Wootton/Crown decision, there were [i]so many[/i] possibilities that didn't get the benefit of being analyzed for consideration in the first place.

And Taylor/staff then had the benefit of the underlying data to play with.  Not so for any of those members of the public -- or even the BOE -- trying to raise a suggestion.[/quote]
