[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to a neighbor who is an Eaton mom, the local school community in Cleveland Park is getting pretty energized to fight any re-assignment to Hardy. [/quote]

I'm sure that they are (though again, Hardy is a fine school).  Someone will likely have to move though.  Eaton already feeds both into Hardy and Deal.  I was at a forum where David Catania (who doesn't get to decide, of course) flat out said to Ward 3 residents that it wasn't likely that Shepherd would be zoned out of Deal, but very likely that Eaton would.[/quote]

I guess it is pretty likely that Catania will lose Cleveland Park then -- he needs to win Ward 3 bigtime to become mayor![/quote]

I should clarify that he didn't say that was what he wanted to do.  He said that was what was likely to happen because of the threat of court challenges.[/quote]

but you can't go to court and say, but i LIVE closer?[/quote]

Not sure about the proximity issue but you can definitely go to court and say that boundary changes have reduced diversity and contribute to racial isolation.  The Department of Justice has guidance for school districts on this issue.
