2. What is your feedback?
Below is sample language that can be used.  Feel free to use and edit to make it personal to you.  For the short term, as a QAE community we want to advocate for two critical items:

• 
  At a minimum, revise and expand the most recently proposed QAE tiebreaker assignment GeoZone to include at least a 4-5 block radius around the school itself.  Right now, QAE is not in its own revised GeoZone
  
• 
  QAE to remain the only Option School for the McClure service area
  

 
Sample Survey Language:
My name is Jane Doe, I am a parent at QAE.   I am very concerned about the recently revised assignment tiebreaker GeoZone for QAE.   Our school is no longer inside its own GeoZone- which now starts 7 blocks away! The SPS stated purpose of an Option School GeoZone is to "give tiebreaker priority for students who live near the school".   The new GeoZone does not meet this requirement.   It is imperative that the QAE GeoZone be revised once again to at least include the immediate blocks around the school itself.   It is also crucial that QAE remain the Option School aligned to McClure service area to provide parents with an alternative if their neighborhood school is not meeting their child's educational needs.
 
Please take a moment and fill out the survey today.
