I believe the idea is that all magnets are available to the entire district since they'd be centralized

Dowling has a full time actual nurse and a highly trained special needs staff, a playground that is fully wheelchair friendly, a single level school, etc. Adding even a portion of that to every school is financially impossible.

That’s what Hiawatha and Howe are as well. Families don’t mind it from what I can tell. It’s just a facilities problem. Which, don’t even get me started on SPED and facilities.

Rationalization is that they can’t provide equal opportunities when some middle schools are huge while others are smaller (fewer choices at smaller middle school K-8 programs)

There are a few of those. They want to do away with all/most K-8, even tho most studies show that system is better than having separate middle schools.

No, it does away with the 6-8 completely and makes the schools K-2 and 3-5. Middle schoolers join Justice Page

My favorite cooking show on YouTube hosted by an ex journalism professor who also once hosted a media podcast is by @aragusea. Latest episode on MSG is excellent youtu.be/E-POAKKH5IM

To be fair tho, I’m not fully against the idea of the CDD. I just don’t believe the district has any actual evidence to support what they say will happen. The district has proven to be just as much at fault for the current state of Edu in the city as anyone else. Ask any teacher

They are reducing the number of magnets so yes they are getting rid of some, possibly 3 that are well loved. Those survey results are another story. Outreach on those were a joke, imo.

For some, sure. But closer to their more white community schools. Current planned boundaries also have students living across the street from our school as outside the attendance zone. It’s messed up over here

Magnets solve the issue of the segregated city way better than segregated community schools. So why do away with some of the better ones.

And on top of that, so much of the data they use to sell their “plan” are completely misleading, false or based on assumptions that “they’ll figure out later”. Meanwhile most super white affluent elem schools won’t really change at all

My kids will be fine. But 80% of our school population will be uprooted, for no good reason. We have a very diverse group of kids, performing well above average, while also offering unique outdoor learning opportunities

They probably have enough votes to pass the plan so it’s all going through the motion now. I didn’t have much faith in the district before this but now even less.

Oh not softball questions but questions they can’t (or won’t) answer in any meaningful way. We talked to a board member afterwards and he was livid at the district

It’s just a giant sales pitch followed by pre selected questions that they vaguely answer. I’m so annoyed by this whole top down CDD approach by the district
