School Zoning Commission Is CRAZY

This week I was informed half of Seven Hills is up for rezoning from Coronado High School to Liberty High School. This is just so outrageous. We live less than 2 miles away from Coronado and 6 miles away from Liberty. Getting to Liberty will also mean crossing St Rose Parkway. The school board is trying to remove a total of 250-300 students from Coronado...
Why not take the kids from the Stephanie and 215 area out and send them to Liberty or Green Valley or Silverado which they pass on the bus they ride already to get to Coronado... Doesn't that make a little more sense? I know budgets are being cut drastically, yet CCSD is going to add more transportation routes to bus the kids from Seven Hills to Liberty. I just don't get it...
Luckily we do have a great community who has already begun assembling to fight this...If anyone is interested in joining in the fight let me know.
Hopefully Lizzie will be discovered by some talent agent and we will be rich enough to have a private tutor. (sorry Carey, I know your boys are going to be zoned there, but no thank you, I don't want Liz there.)

I agree the zoning system doesn't make sense to bus students that live within two miles of a school to another school. But I don't agree that Liberty High School is not as good as Coronado. If we have raised our children correctly it will not matter what high school they are zoned for when the time comes they will make their own moral choices. As parents it our job to get our children prepared for whatever the world will throw at them. Lizzie will do exceptional no matter what high school she is at in a few years!
