I understand and empathize with the families who have children going to Green Lake who's younger children may need to go to McDonald. It completely stinks and the district should make short term sibling exceptions to alleviate those issues. But for the greater good of the neighborhood now and in the long term, the school needs to open. The school district has earmarked almost 15M for renovation and there's a real opportunity here for the community to provide input and shape what it becomes.....push for SPECTRUM programs, provide direct input on who/how a principal is select or even partner with John Stanford to make it an international school. Ultimately it improves the desirability of our neighborhood and helps build a solid community. Unfortunately those families are just "caught" in the timing. In 4-5 years it won't be an issue. The area between 46th & 56th has been widely considered a "dead zone" in terms of schooling, which is why most who live here end up sending kids to private schools and the sense of community is lost. There is a McDonald School Coalition consisting of folks who live in the McDonald School boundaries or are specifically interested in seeing the McDonald School re-open being developed. If you'd like to join, please contact Nytasha Sowers at <a href="mailto:nytashasowers@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow">nytashasowers@yahoo.com</a> to get added to the e-mail distribution list. There are a series of community council (Green Lake & Wallingford) and school district meetings in the next couple weeks where the school opening is being discussed. I encourage you to get involved. This is a fantastic opportunity to be heard and open a solid new school. It would be a tragedy if this school does not open.

I think that boundary should follow the Green Lake/Wallingford neighborhood boundaries to support stronger community ties. If you are disappointed too, please voice your opinions.

We live right on the border now for our schools. Across the street, different elementary and middle schools. Wonder how many more of these "updates" we will see. Nerve-wracking.
