And you do brilliantly, by the way (loved your testimony, and Charlie's - watched the video today).<br /><br />On the Maple Leaf issue, tho', the community is suddenly waking up to the proposals and how much they affect this neighborhood. There's a facebook group with lots of action / discussion, but a lot of the families don't even have kids in the system yet, so it's all new to them and they are trying hard to play catch-up and get some strong advocacy going. I live in the neighborhood but my kids aren't at the neighborhood schools, so while I empathize, I'm somewhat outside the churn.<br /><br />-MLMamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-30392977972548972362013-11-07T20:30:03.266-08:002013-11-07T20:30:03.266-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.mirmac1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10183460709639638172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-46779164444649252622013-11-07T20:29:51.837-08:002013-11-07T20:29:51.837-08:00Melissa,

(And what's being proposed for OV is far more destructive to the community than what's being proposed to Wedgwood: splitting the OV/Maple Leaf community 3 ways for middle school, shifting boundaries so that most kids come from west of I5, when there's only 1 route across to OV from the proposed area, making kids who are 5 blocks from the school move to Oly Hills which is about 2-3 miles away...)<br /><br />Thanks. <br /><br />-ML MamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
