Alignment. There's a handful of PU's that got moved to Yorktown in the HS boundary process last year, so they would go: Ashlawn, Kenmore, then Yorktown in this scenario. They'd the only Kenmore PU's that would go to Yorktown, and they're already the only Ashlawn PU's going to Yorktown. This neighborhood won't get to be aligned at any point in K-12 under this scenario. I don't think that's right. [/quote]

Interesting. Looks like those PUs are [i]very[/i] close to Kenmore. Seems a shame to send them to Swanson. I'm wondering what those PUs prefer. [/quote]

What? They [b]are [/b]sending them to Kenmore, not Swanson. The issue is they're now the only Ashlawn PU's at Yorktown, and in this scenario they'd be the only Kenmore PU's at Yorktown, too. [/quote]

Also, to clarify, these hvae been Kenmore PU's for forever, this is not new. The thing that changed is that these PU's were sent to Yorktown in the last HS boundary revision. Unless they move some other Yorktown and/or Ashlawn PU's to Kenmore, this neighborhood has no alignment from ES to MS nor from MS to HS. There is no scenario presented that move these PU's out of Kenmore. [/quote]

Is the Board just deaf to this issue? I don't understand what seems to be a willful screw these kids attitude.... Will raising this issue in this MS redistricting process help anything if enough people make noise? I guess I feel like unlike people who are like I don't want to go to X school because it isn't as good or I don't like it, for this weird little block it is a legitimate alignment/messed up school path where the care isn't where they get sent,  it is just making sure the kids aren't loners in that path/weird flight of the bumblebee they've created.
