[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Nothing is absolute, but there's very (very) little than can (let alone should) be done about the schools in upper NW. Especially the JKLM(ann) schools; there's simply no other options. [/quote]

What do you mean there's simply no other options?[/quote]

They can and should adjust the boundaries of the overcrowded schools (Janney and Murch) to the less overcrowded ones (Hearst and Eaton).[/quote]

This is one option.  However, let's be clear:  both Heast and Murch are at capacity if not a little over.  It's just that that capacity is mostly taken up by students who do not live within the neighborhood boundaries.  If you shift more students from an adjacent area into these school areas, the number of OOB students from farther-flung parts of the city will necessarily go down.  It's like squeezing a balloon.[/quote]

Um, I don't think you meant Murch - Eaton maybe? Murch is way more than a little over capacity and it is not an OOB issue.  http://murchlookingforward.org  BTW several new apartment buildings are going up in Murch boundaries as we speak. I wonder if developers will advertise that the apartment comes with its own "learning cottage." Look for more trailers at Murch soon.
