Inter-district transfers are allowed and some children of parents who work in Emeryville but live elsewhere do attend. Actual numbers are constantly shifting and to pin them down at any given moment is difficult.<br /><br />To the second commenter-<br />The numbers for housing come from the Lapkoff & Gobalet Demographics Report commissioned by the Emery Unified School District for use in the Measure J campaign. The results I posted are verbatim from the report.<br />As to the family friendly nature of development, I defer to the MIG report to the schools from last summer. MIG is a Berkeley based city planning firm. The report qualified the metrics of what elements housing needs to have to fairly be called "family friendly". This has been so qualified so as to stop possible abuse by developers and/or the city. So in effect, it's not a matter of opinion if a certain development is family friendly, rather it's demonstrable.Brian Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705682112476904502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-49440088545783852032010-11-04T09:17:43.467-07:002010-11-04T09:17:43.467-07:00I'm not sure where you got your numbers since ...I'm not sure where you got your numbers since you didn't name a source, however, they are inaccurate. I live at Andante, so I can only attest to that project. <br /><br />First of all there are 125 units, not 95. Even if you are only referencing the first phase of the project, there are 102 units. Second, my neighbor has a daughter that attends Emery Secondary. I'm almost sure we have more than that one child at Emery Secondary too. Third, we have several familys at Andante. Both my downstairs and upstairs neighbors have children and four other nearby neighbors also have children. Most of these children are too young to attend Emery Secondary (At least 3 are too young even for Elementary school.) I would not call our units family un-friendly. The two bedroom units are large and accomodate children nicely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-80381402724555517792010-11-04T09:16:21.824-07:002010-11-04T09:16:21.824-07:00according to a report issued by the emery ed fund,...according to a report issued by the emery ed fund, the total enrollment of students at emery secondary and anna yates was 420 and 362 respectively for the school year 2008-2009. exactly how many of these students actually live in emeryville? while i totally support the schools and have been a volunteer for five years, the burden of repaying the school bond<br />falls on me and other property owners who may not have children in the school district but want our children to get the best education they can. what about parents who work in emeryville and send their children to emeryville schools but live elsewhere? what about the children who live in richmond, oakland, hayward, san leandro and san francisco? this is a terribly unjust bond measure which i opposed from the beginning.<br />i would like to see an audit made public each year to see exactly what businesses are paying for measure j.shirley enomotonoreply@blogger.com
