[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Westland will become 99 percent white and like 99 percent 1 perceneter.  All the economic diversity and racial diversity will be at middle school number 2.  It will make a difference in resources, in teachers, in classroom supplies,,,,,,,   Westland will be a racially identifiable school (white). Maybe not enough to be completely off the rails unequal - but widely different experience between the two middle schools.  If u analyze the school bus times, traffic to both sites is about the same difference.   Kiids close to Westland have as long a ride as kids far away due to variable density.     Look at the schedules and do the math.  The choice is coming down to convenience of parents of middle school kids who do not go to school on a daily basis.  I think rcf parents and kids will be shocked when they learn what extras the Westland PTA provides to that school that middle school number 2 won't be getting.

The supplies that Westland has and middle school number 2 won't get. Artist in residence and other pluses thatwestland will have and middle school does not.  The free tutoring that Westland will have and middle school number 2 will not. The furled trips that Westland will have and middle school number two won't have because the PTA will lack the funds to pay for the kids who can't afford not to go. The deeper academic offerings that Westland will have and middle school number 2 will not.

I'll give middle school number 2 a shot but just in case will also tour some private schools this winter.  And yeah - I am a parent that gives about 400 dollars a year in direct donations to the PTA and about 400 in supplies to teachers and books for staff  during the book drive, holiday gifts to staff, teacher appreciation....,   If I walk to private school that annual 1000 annual donation walks with along with my family.

Finally - federal dollars are going to evaporate during the next 4 years - so if families think equivalent PTA dollars fonts matter you are soooo very very naive.  [/quote]

Many people are in favor of forming a B-CC Cluster Middle School PTA that shares fundraising and shares resulting funds so that kids at both schools are able to have an equal per-capita amount of PTA support. I think it's a great idea, and I'm from Somerset. [/quote]
