[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ .  I think Murch, Janney and Hearst families would all be better served in this process by focusing on the higher stakes issues of keeping MS and HS feeder patterns intact rather than in-fighting about overall great elementary options within the neighborhood

[b]That said the janney and Murch current family and current homeowner arguments for grandfathering and phasing in boundary shift as housing stock turns over seems very reasonable. Maybe there is even an option for families to claim an IB spot at Murch/Janney OR Hearst during a multi-year transition.  [/b]

As new facilities come online, test scores continue to rise money is on more neighborhood families seriously considering the benefits of Hearst including the overall smaller school environment. Also the potential addition of a PK3 class in 2015-16 is likely to draw neighborhood interest

You can see this effect with this years PK4 lottery results already - 25 out of 38 spots to IB families.

I think that they should let anyone in-bounds for Murch or Janney choose Hearst as an option to relieve overcrowding as opposed to moving the boundary to within 2 blocks of Murch.  I think that some families would prefer the smaller class size and diversity at Hearst, plus it does not force people who would walk to school to now have to drive.
