[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here and another Murch parent whose family is being proposed for rezoning to Hearst.  We walk with our pre-k kid every day to and from school.  The walk is easy and flat, and our two year old is even able to manage it.  We have walked to Hearst to play, although my kids have never made it the whole walk without asking to get on shoulders or getting in a stroller.  It's further and has some substantial hills.  We would probably still walk most days, but we would definitely drive more frequently.

I'm not panicked about the proposed change in isolation.  We can work with Hearst, although it is not our preference.  My biggest reason for fighting the change is the possibility of what it would mean under a choice set scenario.  While I can live with Hearst, I have zero interest in commuting to Eaton or Oyster.

Anyway, I have an open mind about Hearst and I will be attending the open house in the morning to confirm.

I will also say that it seems very unlikely that the border won't be moved north.  Moving it all of the way to Chesapeake is silly.  Albemarle makes more sense, but I have a clear bias as a family that is north of Albemarle.[/quote]

So --be against the choice sets and not against the rezoning, perhaps? I really think we should all come together as a community and be against the things that are the worse in an organized front.

I am really, really impressed and warmed by the fact that you are coming to visit Hearst tomorrow. I would encourage you to introduce yourself to Dr. B. and say that you are current family at Murch who is concerned about the proposed changes and ask her about your points of concern for the school. She is a warm person.

I have to ask though, if you already have a child in PK then why would you be affected? Wouldn't your family be grandfathered in?

Best of luck in the morning!
