I would argue that although it could have been more transparent, it is way more transparent than the status quo, where each individual school can try to pressure the district to get the time that they want, without considering the "big picture" and the impact on other schools/neighborhood/budget.

All decisions were made after a lot of group conversations with parents/staff/principals... But I am sure some things could have been better, in the end we were just the grad students trying to help :)
