While that local
School now also has to operate without the money that would have come with the child to help that local
School out. Charter school should be held to same rules as dcps.

I do not feel comfortable driving any more and the proposed change means that I cannot help my daughter and son-in-law. The distance is just too far for me to walk. The proposal to move my grandson to Hearst means that our short walk will be tripled. My daughter and son-in-law work long hours and I really am concerned that I may lose this valuable time with my grandson. Families that live a half mile or less from the school should have preference for neighborhood schools. Please do not change the current boundaries in Ward 3.

We were originally an out of bounds family. We live 4 blocks from the school and can walk in 5 minutes. We value that and knowing neighbors. The predictability of feeder patterns is important as is maintaining social ties that have been built over the past 5 years. All DC children deserve strong schools and that is where the work and focus needs to be. Playing shell games is not going to address the real and longstanding issues.

I fear it will only diminish certain DCPS schools which parents have worked so hard to support and foster. Some parents will alternatively opt for private schools or leave the district altogether. Also, commutes in this region are taken into HUGE consideration and would hinder many families unnecessarily. Please consider putting this time and energy into addressing issues to help the under-served communities and under-performing schools in the District and let the well-performing ones carry on with their work! Fix what's broken, NOT what's working.

If any of these ill-thought out proposals come to pass we will simply leave for Northern Virgina or Maryland, along with many other parents that have the ability to do so. This will play havoc with so many things: the DC tax base, property values, and a city that is improving all over in many wards. Why would DCPS take away the right and convenience for a parent to attend a good neighborhood public school? Why would they turn away from neighborhood parents willing to join PTAs, and help make neighborhood schools across all wards better? These policies are pure lunacy.
