My son has a few years left in H.S. and is happy where he is. I would love the opportunity to send my daughter to a safer middle and high school when it is her time to attend. A choice to send our kids to a safer school along with higher standards should be our choice and not be based on where we live. The middle school and high school we are zoned for are farther away than the schools that are in our own neighborhood...does this make sense?? Wonderful idea…let’s hope it goes through.

If everyone chose where they wanted to go then one gang would choose to go to one and another gang another school, and the same for all kinds of "groups" and "clicks" it would just end up creating chaos. Friends would go to school all their friends and then people would not pay attention in school as much. There is already a problem with so many people in classes, at school, and violence. This could just help it devlop more. Although I do like the idea of choosing the school I would like to attend, I do not think it would be a good idea.

This will cause teachers to be shuffled around quite a bit from year to year due to enrollment fluxuations. This will only hurt the stability of the schools and the programs they offer. This will trickle down and significantly impair the learning process for all the students involved. Don't do it CCSD. Open enrollment is not a good idea.

BUT ... I feel that if the student chooses the "normal" school for his attendance, that school should either be in his neighborhood or that transportation should be furnished by the District ... if the student chooses to pick another, more distant school for any reason, it should be the student's responsibility to provide his/her own transportation - transportation to an "optional choice" school should not be at the District's (ie, at the taxpayer's) expense ...

I have studied the accountability reports and have a preference for where my son would attend school. It is not any school close to my home! I don't have any interest in the international school we are zoned for and would even pay a small fee to send him somewhere more preferable to his needs. I love it!
