[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The best thing would be to twin Hearst and Janney with one being the lower and the other the upper elementary school. Run a shuttle school bus between the two to facilitate dropping off and picking up siblings. You could cut class size, right-size the program to the boundary area and have a common curriculum."

I love this idea. We would still retain walkability because we could do drop off at the school closest to our homes with the proposed shuttle. If implemented in the relatively short term it would be a win-win for both schools. Greater OOB for Janney and greater IB for Hearst. I would love to have my child in a school dedicated to young children. [/quote]

This is a great idea. This exact plan happened in my suburban nj town in the 70s. One school was in a fancier neighborhood of the same town so those parents complained a little but it all worked fine. One school was k-3, the other was 4-6.  
If janney want smaller classes, this is a way to do it, mesh the schools.

While I don't know whether the Hearst building would be better for the lower or upper elementary grades, they do have the Hearst rec center fields and tennis courts adjacent to the school.[/quote]
