Why single out Lauren? The entire block of Woodland Terr. has been snorting fire over the 40th Pine project, quite publicly. Petitions, the works. In petitioning a government, there's a distinction to be drawn between a simple, sound suggestion that lacks outspoken opposition, and opposing

Interesting points. To which, the following notes. Penn does subsidize PAS, and thus the area that feeds it. However, this is not, so far as I know, supposed to look like ... real market forces; it just is what it is, a subsidy. Penn also subsidizes the areas served by Lea and Wilson.

Liz, Who knows? Anything could have happened. But most things in life that could have happened, did not in fact happen. Such reasoning is suspect, because it seems to be fueled by suspicion. You look at each bump in a boundary and ask yourself if some Penn or SHCA person might benefit.

Good work, Lauren! However, PAS is actually 10% closer to Woodland Terr., as the child walks, than Wilson is. Proximity is a factor in designing neighborhood school boundaries. In other words, your letter may have worked because, on reflection, School District officials decided your point
