The Draft Reassignment Proposal clearly places a higher burden on Carpenter Elementary (CE) than many of the surrounding elementary schools in educating students with higher needs. This is in direct contradiction with stated WCPSS policy that seeks a similar demographic makeup for nearby schools. We, the undersigned, believe that it would be fairer for both the students of CE, as well as any students that are projected to be moved to CE, if this responsibility was shared more equitably with our neighboring schools, especially since CE has much lower end-of-grade (EOG) test scores than many of these very same schools.
