It also makes a bunch of micro moves to make the math work, which was something they specifically criticized about proposal 1 in their slideshow. For instance, they move a single Nottingham unit to Discovery, and two Discovery units to Nottingham. Two (very small) Nottingham units to Tuckahoe. One Glebe unit to Reed. One Barcroft unit to Ashlawn. Two small Fleet units to Barcroft. McKinley's boundary-only scenario is basically everything they's attacked as inappropriate and unacceptable, except it all happens to other peoples' kids while their own are unaffected. It is the one of the most cravenly self-interested things I've seen a community put out in this kind of process.

Hmmm. Would these be the same two small units that were split from the Alcova Heights neighborhood and sent to Fleet -- ironically, in consideration of demographics? If so, moving them back to Barcroft just makes Fleet even wealthier and Barcroft even poorer. Thought they were concerned that demographics weren't being considered.

Sure looks like it.[/quote]

Its actually 3 PUs they moved from Fleet. The 2 across Glebe from the school and they moved the Gilliam Place CAF PU. They basically made Fleet 200 kids underenrolled.[/quote]
