[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, the school just sent out a letter saying that 40% of the students are from ward 4, 20% are from ward 5 and 10% are from ward 1. Therefore, it doesn't seem crazy to move to a new campus in ward 4. [/quote] This is a flat out lie. [/quote] Not even close to a lie. Just because you don't want to believe it, doesn't make it a flat out lie. According to their 2015-2016 annual report, http://www.dcpcsb.org/sites/default/files/report/2015-2016%20Annual%20Report%28DSFC%29%28LatinAmericMontesBilingPCS%29.pdf LAMB students live in all 8 wards of the City: Ward Ward 1 47 13% Ward 2 8 2% Ward 3 15 4% Ward 4 188 50% Ward 5 74 20% Ward 6 23 6% Ward 7 11 3% Ward 8 8 2% Total Students 374 100%[/quote] So 33% of the school can just go to hell then?[/quote] You have to give this up. Every time you post something, you get further and further into an alternative reality that makes sense only in your head. There will be many factors taken into consideration with a consolidated campus and where the majority of their students reside would be towards the very top of that list. Any impartial person should be able to see that based upon that alone, Ward 4 makes the most sense. Based upon your continued argument that the school should consider the convenience of their families, Ward 4 would be most convenient for the majority of their families. I live in Ward 4, but even if the majority of students lived in Ward 5, I could never make the arguments that you are trying to make with a straight face to suggest the school should be in Ward 4. We choose this reality when we choose a citywide Charter school [/quote] Oh please. You would be on here screaming if the school wasn't moving to your backyard. -Not PP[/quote] as I said above, not if the majority of students lived in Ward 5. My kids have gone to the campus in Ward 5 so I know I can do it if I need to. I am a pretty logical person and won't make arguments that don't make logical sense. And I am pretty solid believer in fairness. If both of those things means Ward 5 makes the most sense, then Ward 5 is the best option for the school. Being happy about it is another story, but I am not going to make up stuff just to try to get my way. [/quote] Driving from Ward 4 to 5 is not a big deal. Driving from Ward 7 to ward 4 is a huge commute. Try again with your faulty logic. [/quote] You chose a charter. Breathe. Accept. [/quote] So that means we have no voice anymore? Give me a break. Also part of the charter process is community engagement. Best of luck getting this to happen. I smell lawsuits and subsidized shuttles. Mmm[/quote]
