I think it's strange they maintained a link to Wilson & Deal, while other similarly situated neighborhoods lost their link, so I'm trying to figure out what justifies the link for Shepherd Park & Bancroft.  But I'm really struggling to get straightforward answers from anyone.  Have you got any other answers besides the ones 15:32 offered?[/quote]

I'm surprised there is still confusion about this. The advisory committee decided to implement strong feeder relationships. So, any neighborhood whose elementary school did not feed to Deal was out. Then, expected overcrowding still required one Deal feeder to be eliminated. The school that was already a dual feeder was selected. If your complaint does not involve Eaton, your argument is with the decision to prioritize feeder relationships, not the fact that two Deal feeders were allowed to continue being Deal feeders.

Bancroft is also a dual feeder--feeds into Deal and CHEC. Makes more sense to me for Bancroft to feed to CHEC than to Deal. (I am EOTP and sending my kid to my in-boundary non-Bancroft school, so no dog in this fight.)[/quote]

That's a fair point. I didn't know until now that Bancroft was a dual feeder. I guess the immediate response is that CHEC's middle school doesn't have an English track. But, that's an entirely different bag of worms.
