Restoration of article with case study info

[edit]

@Davidwr: After working on articles about bilingual schools in El Paso, Texas and Chicago I realized that the sources are considered "case study" books/works, and this was the kind of work that conferred notability on Pershing Middle School (Houston). I checked the Google Books snippets and the book was labeled as a case study book (see page ii) and on page 2 she said it was a "Book of Cases". On page vii she stated "Each of the cases in the book describes programs and practices that go beyond quality for children-they are "out of the ordinary."

I thought it was time to pull the trigger and revive the article. If you still think a new AFD is warranted you can do it if you like. WhisperToMe (talk) 09:29, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not sure this restore was appropriate. In the case of the other precedent you mention, the case studies seemed to relate to official programs in the school itself. In this case, the case study seems to be about a private cooperative nursery school that was located on the grounds of the elementary school, but was a separate entity from the elementary school, neither operated nor funded by HISD. Thus the case study seems to have created grounds for the notability of the private cooperative nursery school, but not the public school Poe itself. That HISD expelled such private cooperative nursery schools from its campuses, and that this particular nursery school continues to operate at a new location, further reinforces the private cooperative nursery school being a separate entity from the public elementary school, and the case study on the private cooperative nursery school conferring notability on the private cooperative nursery school, NOT the public elementary school. 2600:1700:12C8:10:B4F8:FC81:44FD:C632 (talk) 11:39, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Poe attendance map prior to the closure of Will Rogers Elementary

[edit]

This is what Poe Elementary's attendance zone looked like before Will Rogers closed: and presumably after River Oaks Elementary got its boundary back: http://web.archive.org/web/20060510234504/http://dept.houstonisd.org/ab/SchoolBoundaryMaps/poeES.pdf - Webcitation archive: http://www.webcitation.org/6mtplJARH WhisperToMe (talk) 16:00, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is the earliest boundary map online I could find for Poe: http://web.archive.org/web/20021025170050/http://dept.houstonisd.org/ab/images2/poe.jpg WhisperToMe (talk) 15:52, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note this was the Will Rogers boundary: http://web.archive.org/web/20020312123945/http://dept.houstonisd.org:80/ab/images2/wrogers.jpg and http://web.archive.org/web/20060212160939/http://dept.houstonisd.org:80/ab/SchoolBoundaryMaps/willrogersES.pdf WhisperToMe (talk) 14:11, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
