Exactly Helen! They could have alternate breaks. Our community needs to think of what is less disruptive for our kids, and attending 4 different schools before high school opposed to going to middle school two years earlier is definitely not the least disputive option. Let's make F more attractive with separate breaks and keeping our kids with their friends.

NO! These are Kids not Cattle - the BOARD should have studied the current development and built a school or at least had a plan for the number of familys that would be living in the area - SHAME on THEM! I will not take my kids out of their current school - JW GERTH.

Very well put Nick! Though I appreciate the concerns of parents with option F, I think they may have even more significant concerns with option J. So we have to make sure we reach out to all those that may be impacted!

Option J is not in the best interest of our children. Eight years ago I choose to live where I live so that my kids could attend Brigadoon or the proposed new school in Doon (which is now JW Gerth). Pioneer Park wasn't one of the options.

Well said. Not only would the kids be removed from the school environment, but also the before and aftercare structured program, leaving parents to find care, and disrupting yet another routine at a young age.

Option J is NOT in the best interests of children and families impacted; it erodes any sense of community that currently exists. Displacing JK/SK & younger grades is confusing to children. I am vehemently opposed to option J!
