They aren't any farther apart than Marshall and Jefferson, are they? There would have to be busing to support the pairing, just as for Marshall/Jeff (as well as for the current Seth Boyden opt-in.)Gundudad said:
I think the schools are too far apart to split the grades, rezoning, if necessary, seems an easier fix.
That's correct.sprout said:
If this merger happens, I believe it would make Clinton the only elementary school in the district with all K-5 students in the same building?

Google maps puts them at 1.1 miles apart.

Enrollment at Tuscan is flat to down YoY isn't it?
That's when demographics (see my 1:28pm post above) may come into play. Not sure of the current status, but maybe someone has some data on that.Gundudad said:
Wouldn't the problem be solved by simply expanding the zone for SB? That would certainly impact fewer people.

At the risk of starting a sh*t storm and possibly perpetuating an untrue rumor, I heard through a pretty reliable source that there may be a proposal on the table to merge Tuscan and Seth-Boyden into a Marshall/Jefferson model. Lower grades at one school, higher grades and the other. My guess is that the proposal is in response to over-crowding at Tuscan and fewer families opting in to Seth Boyden. Anyone else hearing about this? Thoughts?

It becomes a very angry battle pitting neighbor against neighbor against BOE. Which houses get rezoned?
There were some Tuscan addresses redistricted to Clinton recently. It got ugly fast. Very unlikely to be the approach we'll see for this.

Im not convinced the fear of adults acting like schoolchildren is a good enough reason not to explore it.
