I had no idea that happened. They're the ones who are so insistent on the schools being separate but now that it can benefit them they want them to be linked in a way? We're zoned and had better not be closed out b/c of Anderson sibs! Guess I should go register DC even while holding out hope for G&T. [ Reply | More ]

How would an Anderson sib get preference at ps 9 Gen Ed? Do they need to go through DOE? [ Reply | More ]

This is incorrect. There is no preference for Anderson sibs at PS9 G&T, nor did Anderson parents lobby for it. Where are you getting your info? [ Reply | More ]

exactly -- no sib preference for A sibs at ps9 or ps9G&T. incorrect info; no parent lobby for this either. [ Reply | More ]

I believe Anderson sibs would get sibling preference for the g&t at ps9, not Gen Ed. [ Reply | More ]

I think this is totally false. Have not heard ANYWHERE that Anderson sibs get preference at 9 (G*T or GenEd) or that 9 kids get pref at Anderson. Give me proof. [ Reply | More ]

they have been lobbying for it, and I heard from someone high in the PTA that they were successful. I am so pissed about this. they also lobbied to get only one G&T class so as not to cut into shared space. And they don't want to give sib preference to ps9. I think if a ps9 kid qualifies for naderson, or a sib of a ps9 kid, they should get preference for anderson over kids outside if they are going to get sib preference at ps9. It is outrageous. they are sucking the resources out of ps9, and pushing for everything that will harm our school. I am now going to lead a major effort to lobby to get them out of the building.

Must say, I am a pretty involved PS9 parent and have never hear word one about such nonsense. Even if such a thing existed, I would assume Anderson would get preference BELOW PS9 and PS9 would have to get reciprocal pref with A. The reason there is only 1 G&T class, however, has nothing to do with Anderson lobbying and eveything to do with general lack of space and the need to not continue with four K classroom each year.

What are you talking about? There is no preference for Anderson sibs at PS9, nobody lobbied for it, nor did Anderson parents lobby for only one PS9 G&T class--that was something Diane Brady wants, not Anderson parent. [ Reply | More ]

I think you have been getting some major misinformation. I'm a pretty involved A. parent; there was no effort to get preference at PS9 for A. sibs (and there is no such preference, or to limit PS9 G&T to one class. [ Reply | More ]

np: I heard the same thing. they want the gen ed preference because they know its a great school, and it will make anderson more desirable to offer gen ed spots. problem is, that eats away at space for the G&T program at ps9, which will suffer if they continue to have only one class. I would not be for granting this preference for this reason. I want to see 2 classes for G&T next year, otherwise the school will have trouble down the line. [ Reply | More ]

But PS 9's gen ed is not a "great" school yet. Not enough for Anderson parents to lobby for their unzoned sibs to go there anyway. [ Reply | More ]

you are wrong about that. they are lobbying. they want access to gen ed and G&T to accomodate themselves. for the G&T, it is not fair to D3 high scoring kids who will have fewer seats, and for the gen ed, they are creating a greater need for more gen ed classes which will harm the G&T program and further decrease space in a top G&T for D3 kids. ps9 cannot let this happen.

wrong. you all are insane. anderson has not been lobbying for only one ps9 G&T class; that's a space issue/diane brady issue. nor has the school lobbied for sib preference at the gen ed and/or at the G&T. this is all such bull -- a rumor and completely untrue. [ Reply | More ]

I am a PS9 parent on the PTA or SLT (don't want to out myself) and we have NEVER had ANY discussion about Anderson preferences affecting PS9 class size or number choices. If Anderson is lobbying the DOE for a change in PS9 preferences, then it is such a big secret that even we on the PTA/SLT have never heard of it. So I have no idea who you are to be telling us our business when you are clearly on the outside. [ Reply | More ]

I think specific parents are lobbying to get sibling preference at PS 9 G&T for their Anderson sibs who did not score over 97. It is not "the school" that is lobbying it is a few specific parents that are making their case to the DOE [ Reply | More ]
