This is not a fair and equitable solution for Kingsley. This does not unite the community. Sadly, I don't think anything will. It certainly doesn't make Kingsley Charter School neighborhoods feel part of the "Dunwoody community" (not that we ever did)and good luck uniting the rest. That's part of the reason I'm voting no to cityhood. These school issues are just a microcosm of the issues we would have as a city. Maybe we should draw the city line at Tilly Mill, since us low-lifes over here on the other side of the tracks don't "play a big part of ensuring Dunwoody's continued vitality and healthy property values" (except Fran Millar's neighborhood, which is part of the Kingsley attendance zone, where all the kids go to private school and property values are healthy). It's a win-lose-uncle situtation for Vanderlyn, Kingsley and the rest. Vanderlyn is the only school that appears to have a majority of support for the Academy plan, Kingsley is the sacrificial lamb (we would support the Academy if it included us), and everyone else just throws their hands up and says "we're over it". Vanderlyn wins again. Go Vikings!!! Long live healthy property values in Vanderlyn!!KParenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797161870132546584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-54681312963930030852008-04-18T07:28:00.000-04:002008-04-18T07:28:00.000-04:00Love they neighbor as thyself.

If the attendance lines were never re-drawn, our inconveniences would most likely be over-shadowed by relief that our schools were no longer overcrowded. Let's choose to be thankful for the committee's hard work and look ahead to what will inevitably be an awesome school. Go in Peace!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10154623619656535807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-23238823514858131652008-04-17T08:02:00.000-04:002008-04-17T08:02:00.000-04:00I do not think this new idea is a good idea.

And again changing them to Middle school and High School. It is better they stay in the same school all elementary levels. And for the parents (if you need to walk your elementary children to 2 different school and tha same time, What can you do?) and the traffic,etcmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373146074912173316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-58135356549086679632008-04-16T22:03:00.000-04:002008-04-16T22:03:00.000-04:00What a fantastic solution.

For those of us that moved here for Vanderlyn and play a big part of ensuring Dunwoodsy's continue vitality and healthy property values, we are very pleased with this win win solution.<BR/><BR/>This unifies Dunwoody, rather than creating a gulf between fellow Dunwoodians. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad we can put this behind us and focus on the next big issue for us- cityhood!tgt.1970https://www.blogger.com/profile/15584378117163405369noreply@blogger.com
