[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People will not invest. You are delusional. [/quote]

And you know nothing about Maury's history.  The school was on the verge of being closed about 10 years ago until a few white IB families decided to 'invest' in their IB school.  Some of those same families are now 'investing' in Eliot-Hine.[/quote]

Exactly.  Maury is a small, active community.  That means we can get together and all decide to make a cluster work if that's what the decision is.  (Not saying that I think this is the best outcome; just that we can make it work.)[/quote]

The fact that it's a small community is what has helped it to succeed. And frankly, the fact that Miner is also relatively small will also help it as the neighborhood gentrifies. But you create an almost 800 student mega-school and split it across two campuses and all the progress both schools have made will be lost. This is the reason Watkins has been reducing it's enrollment. Gentrifiers do not like gigantic mostly OOB elementary schools. [/quote]
