[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then there lies the rub.  There's a great school right there in SWS, but it's locked up, and you probably aren't going to have a shot in hell now anyway, with sib pref.

[b]So, is the effort to get proximity much better spent on getting LT principal canned[/b]?  I've heard direct reports on numerous occasions of how clueless this woman is.

What can be done here?  How did Brent do it?  Did they have a new principal?  Fire a host of teachers?  Can you approach principal and convince her to,carve out a language immersion space like Tyler?  [/quote]

This may true for the people who would get proximity preference who are IB for L-T.  But, it doesn't address the issue for those people who would get proximity preference who are IB at Maury, Miner, J.O. Wilson, and Peabody. Prospect Learning Center actually sits near an odd juncture of all of these attendance zones, clipping each one, although the biggest chunk is in the L-T boundary area.   While the folks with guaranteed seats at K at Peabody and Maury are probably most concerned with wait list issues at PS and PK, the folks IB to Miner and J.O. Wilson may want SWS as an option through 5th.  Without an IB area for SWS, the two issues, quality at L-T and proximity preference at SWS, are related but not identical. For some people they are quite separate. [/quote]

Proximity preference is a LOT smaller than you think and SWS wouldn't be clipping off parts of JO Wilson, Maury or Miner folks, and barely any or maybe even none from Peabody. This is really a LT IB issue.[/quote]
