On Sunday, some West Side parents prepared for battle, concerned that they are becoming a swing neighborhood, WISC-TV reported.

The area at issue is located near the WISC-TV studios and is referred to as the "Channel 3 Area" by the Madison Metropolitan School District. If the current recommended plan is passed, their neighborhood children would be moved to the fourth elementary school in 15 years.

"It was Huegel, Orchard Ridge, Chavez, Mold, then new school," said one concerned parent.
Parents in the neighborhood gathered together on Sunday night to share their talking points and prepare to fight for their neighborhood school.
