[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no real prospect of Hearst going to Hardy, it is very close to Deal.

It would make more sense to switch Janney to Hardy for a number of reasons.  First, the transportation corridor is more logical with many 30 buses connecting the two schools.  Second, from a geographic perspective Janney's boundaries are continuous to Mann which already feeds into Hardy, so a switch to Hardy would require less gerrymandering.[/quote]

I wish school boundaries wouldn't have to change, but there is a lot of logic to this.  In fact, some are proposing already using Wisconsin Ave. as the dividing line for Janney, such that students east of Wisconsin would get re-assigned to Murch or Hearst.   Wisconsin could be a pretty simple division for middle school assignment, too, since basically all the elementary schools (except for Janney currently) feed to Hardy already.  Those on the east of Wisconsin feed to Deal.  If you have to shrink Janney's boundaries anyway to west of Wisconsin, then it's easiest to place Janney with all of the other west of Wisconsin schools.[/quote]
