[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given how well Hardy is progressing, moving Eaton to Hardy seems like the right move, in retrospect.  Hearst could be moved to Hardy, next, and while parents would squawk, they'd still have access to a good school.

I think it makes little sense, given logistics of the map, to move Lafayette away from Deal.  Janney, LaFayette, and Murch are the most logical schools to go to Deal because of their proximity.  But it makes even LESS sense for Bancroft and Shepherd to go there, as they're even farther away.  Obviously, the only reasons Bancroft and Shepherd go there are for purposes of equity and politics.

The most elegant solution would be to send Hearst to Hardy and Bancroft and Shepherd to the new Hines.  [b]But that won't happen except for Hearst[/b], so the next best solution to the Deal/Wilson overcrowding problem would be to send the expanded Hardy to a new High School, which would also take on Francis-Stevens.  But where's the real estate for it?[/quote]

Where is your information on this? If we're talking proximity, Hearst's boundary is 1/2 mile from Deal.[/quote]
