- Attention: North Park Parents
Do you live around Morley Field or the neighborhoods near it in North Park? I'm writing about how parents choose where to send their kids to school and how that impacts integration. I'm zooming in on Jefferson Elementary and the neighborhood around it as a case study on school choice.
