[quote=Anonymous]For all the posters that are saying how about we do not give the OOB kids the option of giving them the By-right-to-feed option or accounting that we bring over 30% of OOB children to deal. I do not know the numbers or do I care to but what I will say is this I live in the Ward 7 district in which I have purchased a home 9 years ago, I have put my 2 older children in a Ward 7 High School and Elementary School, but I refuse to put my now 5 year old DS in any Ward 7 elementary school. I want what's best for my son and I will give him that. My son was recently matched to Shepherd Elementary School for K and although it will be a hike from my Ward 7 home to Shepherd (my job sits in the middle to both)I am willing to sacrifice that trip and eventually to his middle feeder which would be Deal and later Wilson. I don't have the big money to afford to move in Ward 4 and definitely not Ward 3. I want what every working class mom wants for their child a excellent educational opportunity, the opportunity to learn in a diverse atmosphere, and for a safe environment as he travel to and from school as he matures and is able to commute on his own (7th or 8th grade). So before anyone down play OOB children just know some parents do work, have homes, have cars, and pay taxes just as you do. But one thing is for sure while my son will be attending Shepherd Elementary School and they decide not to allow my son his feeder rights to Deal and Wilson I will do what I have to do and occupy(Lie)  my aunts address on Connecticut Ave. which she owns a condo.[/quote]
