Hum... no not really.

Though walking to school, playing on the playground after school, our neighborhood list serv, block parties etc. - I would guess that I know about 75% or more of the EA children (in all 6 grades - K-5). This is first and foremost a neighborhood school - and so often this gets lost.

I am truly indifferent about this situation so I will stop posting here.

I will vote against any PTA measure that states we are one big happy family.  We are two programs housed in one building.

A few families may have strong ties across both programs - but from my experience in the school - this is not the norm.

I don't care if the SI children continue through Westland. I certainly do NOT oppose this.  However, I do not want "school unity" to be used as a reason to maintain the current system.

My only point is that we aren't one school - but two schools housed in one building.

As for the neighborhood children in SI - there are more in the lower grades than in the upper grades.  (This increase seems to coincides with when the county started using an outside firm to complete the lottery but that could be purely coincidental.) Their parents should weigh in on this situation and some already done so in informal meetings.

I hope the increase in neighborhood children in the SI program will help bridge the gap between the two programs.

I have nothing against SI kids going to Westland - I just don't want to be used in the process.
