Actually, it still undercounts the effects of Legacy. My daughter for example would have started kindergarten at Grant, but now is in private school. She wouldn't be counted. Also, those who don't move to Livonia to avoid this mess would not be counted. Sounds like a flawed methodology to me, especially when the guy designing it is an accountant. Sigh... maybe we can mail order him some honesty. |

I wonder how many kids we are really loosing. If it was only 453, why not just say so? Could it be closer to 600 than 400? |

Liepa is holding off the release of the numbers for as long as the state will allow. Remember, the absolute deadline is Nov. 15. If he stalls longer, LPS could be denied funding. In the mean time he has tried several tactics to confuse people. Such as continuing to talk only in terms of the number of lost student they budgeted for. So many people saw that 160 number associated with student loss that it probably "stuck" with many as the real number. He also continues to talk in terms of %, never actual number. Percentages, especially 2%, seems a lot less shocking (until you do the math, but we know some won't) than a number of 400+. It is all pure manipulation. How can people support this? |

Don't forget any younger siblings of those who left for private schools -- those who will never attend LPS. |

I suddenly have this visual of Liepa with his hands over his ears going "lalalalalalalalalalalalalala". |
