I can appreciate all the folks compelled to prove their addition and subtraction abilities here, but maybe they are missing the real message. #fatefor58 is using the numbers the school board provided that includes the net number of students(according to them) that would impact their numbers on either side if 8th graders were grandfathered. I'm not a mathologist by any stretch, but I'm pretty sure no one has the correct numbers anyways. If you really want to focus your energy arguing numbers instead of honoring these students cause, you might want to give a little more depth to your math. The numbers everyone is using is what was provided by the school board. Lets assume these are the real numbers, which historically has not been the case. Is it really "around 200 total students"? I get the complex math of adding two numbers. Can you tell me if any of these 8th graders have parents that work full time for the district, bc if so they do not count. Can you tell me if any of these 8th graders are in a culinary or other program that allows choice of school anyways? Maybe we can start our own mathematical argument thread on this subject and argue what we don't know? I can promise you the numbers are not 100% correct either way. There is a talented 8th grade quarterback that was rezoned according to the boundaries voted on Thursdays meeting. Our school board was informed of this on Friday by a coach, and were able to find out that the map was "wrong" on Thursday and that it was a mistake. This single street has now been excluded from the rezone, to fix the "mistake". So we are at least off by one student at the least. How about we use the 58 number that represents BOTH SCHOOLS, and call it close enough.
