    Default Petition to expand the Bache Martin catchment

    A petition was recently started advocating for the expansion of the Bache Martin catchment to include the entire Fairmount neighborhood. As a parent who lives in Fairmount but just 2 blocks outside of the catchment, I think it's a great idea... especially since our catchment school - Morris will be closed

    Hope that those who are interested will sign:

    would the eastern border be affected?

    Not sure... but from the description on the page, it appears that the closure of Morris is the driving force of this particular petition.
    I am not familiar with how the school district operates (if they ever really redraw catchment boundaries) but was at least happy to find that there are others advocating for this.

    Here's the current boundary:

    District reduces number of planned school closings from 37 to 29 | Philadelphia Public School Notebook

    Five schools in North Philadelphia that were slated to close -- Duckrey, Meade, Morris, Strawberry Mansion High, and the Military Academy at Elverson -- will remain open. Vaux High School, slated for conversion to an elementary school, will instead close. Changes in the region will also result in shifts in which schools receive displaced students.
