Dunwoody Elementary School has more kids in its attendance zone than all other Dunwoody elementary schools. Some vocal parents from DES want that to change.
DES Parent: Put my neighborhood back to Vanderlyn
DCSD: Denied. Vandy is full. You were zoned out of Vandy ten years ago.
DES Parent: Put my house in the Austin attendance area.
DCSD: Denied. You live closer to DES and Austin is now full, and will attract more kids to this area.
DES Parent: Put these apartment kids somewhere else.
DCSD: Denied, temporarily. However, Nancy Creek school will lose the magnet (brain-drain) kids and some multi-family communities from DES will move there in August.
DES Parent: No, we don't want them to go to Nancy Creek. We want them at Austin because Austin moms make us mad and we want them to suffer for years, like we have.
DCSD: You do realize Vanderlyn has been overcrowded since 1998 and old Austin had trailers since 2007?
DES Parent: That Nancy Creek building sucks.
DCSD: Well, the magnet kids don't seem to mind it
DES is pulling many tricks out of their bag. It's no surprise these are parents of STEM students. The creativity is impressive.

"We have an entire 3rd grade class in trailers" That's cute. DHS class of 2018 from Austin and Vandy spent more time in trailers than classrooms from K-12.
Remove all “West of Ashford Dunwoody Road” Wow. Why didn't they just say "take all these apartment kids". I'm sure those WAD kids and parents really feeling the love after reading the petition. Nice job, Tiger moms.

Here's the DES letter from earlier this week. We expect another letter this weekend. DES wants overcrowding corrected at DES, but only by sending apartment kids to Austin. No other solution is acceptable, in their eyes.
Sorry for the poor formatting of the DES letter.
