[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fine let Drew be significantly under enrolled. And give them tons of money. Tax the hell out of 22207 etc.
Let everyone keep crowding into the same few schools. Fine.[/quote]

Well, isn't it the case that APS essentially built a new school for the Patrick Henry parents who had crowded their old school by avoiding neighborhing ones? There was no change to the Patrick Henry boundary. They simply gave Patrick Henry a brand new, bigger building. How is that equitable? The wraparound services described above to the poorest schools would cost a lot less than building Fleet did.[/quote]

Sorry, how is buying a house within an established boundary - as you pointed out, it did not change - “crowding” a school and avoiding neighborhood schools? Henry isn’t an option school where anyone is avoiding another school. People like the school and want to live within its boundaries. A lesson for APS to consider when refocusing on Drew and other high FARMs schools.

I mean, I get it, you all despise Henry parents but let’s not be ridiculous here with our commentary. It’s not always about avoiding another school. [/quote]
