[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Principal Young has suggested that that rising families, and others, could usefully provide input to the LSAT in the fall, before he meets with Kaya to offer her community input on a draft Hill boundary revision.

I think this is "Hill boundary revision" is key.  Right now, everything is Balkanized and schools are pitted against one another in a zero sum game.  There needs to be a comprehensive proposal that addresses longstanding Hill issues, including middle school.  That is where political leadership from Tommy Wells comes into play.  Oh, nevermind . . .

Tommy is advocating for Stuart Hobson to get $6 million for a parking structure.  Mr. Livable and Walkable is contorting himself to court the Cluster vote (or at least avoid their wrath).  Six million will modernize a whole elementary school, or help improve Eliot Hine.  At the hearing last week it was made clear by Catania that the money for modernization is quickly running out.  Catania also said that the prioritization of modernization funds is completely political and untethered to merit based review.  Thus, put a parking garage at SH and take away something from another neighborhood school.  Straight up zero-sum game.  Doesn't matter to Tommy and his good governance platform . . . instead of working for a comprehensive plan to raise the fortunes of everyone, he's genuflecting to a well organized and vocal campaign that puts their narrow interests ahead of the greater good.[/quote]
