This may explain why the Citywide PTSA chair has threatened to send his children to a neighboring school district. A recent survey of parents at Piedmont demonstrates astronomical disatisfaction with the Red Plan’s consequences. From the survey:
If Piedmont merges with Lincoln for the school year 2009 – 2010 will you be sending your Child or Children to Lincoln?
Yes – 48, 37%
No – 60, 46%
Unsure 22, 17%Out of the 22 that said they were unsure 12 named other schools they are interested in. 5 said they were unsure what school they would be going to, while 5 left question 2 blank. If you add the 12 tht named schools and the 5 that were unsure to the total of no’s, 77 out of 130 surveyed families will not be sending their children to Lincoln. That is 59%.
