That is so funny you should mention the boundaries changing harry, that is exactly what this thread is about. Well I guess you missed prior posts with those jockeying to keep their current boundaries. I laughed so hard when I first saw the "Boundaries if we leave BB" thread. There are numerous posts where a few of us have ALWAYS maintained that boundaries will change and then vehemently opposed by most of the posters. Now said posters want to change the boundaries...always but always to suit themselves and not the community. But you are wrong harry. If BB had occurred, boundaries would not have changed. I see many trying to figure what they might be, hence the name of the thread but jockeying for position, I don't see it. So would you be happy with an 8 or 9 mile bus ride for your children to attend HS when the other schools are closer? Would you be happy to have your child pass the HS you have always fought to keep them in, only to triple the bus ride? Just curious. |

Back on topic Boundaries will change Without a doubt which is unfortunate for those that voted for the third high school based solely on the boundaries. But they should have done their due diligence ahead of their vote knowing that boundaries were not tied to the question on the ballot. The good news about that for Arch, Dr. W, Gators, etc. is that, if the AME church site is selected, their fears about exposure from the substation for their children will not come to fruition because they will most likely not be in the MV attendance area. |

I haven't changed my stance, just shedding light on the fact that you are using the substations to keep your boundary safe but exposed your kids to EMF's cause 3 years is ok... Will you move if your boundaries change or will you go private?? Harry I cannot answer for arch but if the boundaries send my child to a school at the Macom site, I will likely move. OK I used the same response to Arch.... Why move? |

I have the right to move anytime I desire to. Why do you seem to have a problem with that concept? Cause I think it is an idle threat |

ok and yes I wash my hands per my contract. And?  You only wash them at work and not at home? Not even after using the toilet? Do you not shower on non-work days? They're just germs..... Germs are natural and do not bother me in the least |

I guess that depends on your definition of "best possible solution".
ETA - herein lies the crux...if your number one priority is saving money than the "best solution" is the chepest site, the cheapest building etc.
If your number one priority is community access, neighborhood schools, easy transportation...
If your number one priority is fewest hazards...
I would think in any given community those priorities are difeerent for different people, so the SD has to give all of them consideration.
This could be done by scoring each site and seeing which scores highest, second, third etc

OK I went there...http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/magnetic-fields The data there does not support your claim in my reading of it. |

Yes...if it is collectively the best possible solution for the community. 1/ You're misreading -- no one wants to change the boundaries - they have to change because of a site change. If they put the school in Wisconsin - would the boundaries not change ? If the school was put anywhere near BB as planned - then the boundaries are fine 2/ please send your area to the SB on their general e-mail and volunteer them for the 8-9 mile trek - I am sure they will be glad to know you are so willing ( don't count out the fact it might be you). 3/ The extra long distance to school will involve at least 3 WS's and more than 50% of that school population - so how could that ever be defined as what's best for the district ? Best for a few - maybe, best for the district, not hardly |

Back on topic Boundaries will change Without a doubt which is unfortunate for those that voted for the third high school based solely on the boundaries. But they should have done their due diligence ahead of their vote knowing that boundaries were not tied to the question on the ballot. The good news about that for Arch, Dr. W, Gators, etc. is that, if the AME church site is selected, their fears about exposure from the substation for their children will not come to fruition because they will most likely not be in the MV attendance area. Actually, DPC, they are more than likely going to wind up at MV with the AME site. The SD is not going to bus walkers to WV to the north site. In order to fill a northern site one will have to bring in May Watts and Colishaw. Then the SD would probably move WE, Fry and Ashwood to WV. |

After that you either start splitting schools at walkers vs non walkers or keep moving south until you get enough, likely 3 more ES feeders. Next inline without walkers in order: Gombert / White Eagle / Cowlishaw / May Watts / Owen and for the zillionth time - boundaries were not on the ballot - but they were tied to the location. So yes most people voted ( some voted yes and some voted no ) - based on BB. Of course if they move the location to Peotone or Geneva - the boundaries would change. |
