[quote=Anonymous][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]

I went to the open house and was very impressed.  I'm really glad I went.  The school seems to be very much on the right track and I would be surprised if it isn't considered on par with Janney and Murch in a number of years.  Frankly, if I were a family with a child that hadn't attended Murch yet, I wouldn't be as worried about the boundary change.  That said, I do still think it's silly for folks on Chesapeake to have to walk to a school so much further away from their home than Murch is.

Regardless, this chicken little, at least, has concluded that the sky is not, in fact, going to fall.[/quote]

Thanks for your input. We are also in the possible switch zone, I appreciate that you went to investigate.[/quote]
