Because he did the high school, he has a really good idea of what we can do and not do.

We had to randomly distribute the students overloaded in that school into their second choice. That's the 30 students or so who got their second choice.

The addition of loitering strengthens the issue. They can't hang out in that parking lot or school yard.

I certainly appreciate his stance and his affirmation of my position to petition the school board for redress of something that is definitely a concern for many, many parents -- thousands of parents here.

That was the first opportunity to sit down and do forecasting about what the specific classes the child will take, look at the transcript and just get a nice early contact. It seemed to me to be pretty well attended. A lot of parents have now met with somebody from their school.

If we only have 18 appeals, then that's pretty good.
