Yeah, none of the blended option has McK going to Gunston. There is not map that sends anyone N of 50 to Gunston. What are you looking at?

Which scenario: B, D, F, H, or J?

But a huge chunk of Kenmore goes to WL too, there's still alignment there

I realize this is complicated stuff. But, under this option kids that are 2-3 blocks from WMS would go to Swanson and kids literally across the street from the "new" MS would go do WMS. Seriously?

Sorry I meant Kenmore. A much larger swath of McK goes to Kenmore in the alignment map, including much of glebe

Dp- no, we should end socioeconomic segregation

I don't think we need to be turning walkers into bus riders, but if you're a bus rider anyway, there are some reasonable PU shifts that could happen to move us in the right direction.

Fine. Bus your minorities over to us. I'm fine with that, but I'm not putting my kid on a longer bus ride to satisfy you.

We already board a bus at 7am.

You ride the bus with your child? God help this generation.

Whatever, douche. Next time buy a house in a decent school zone instead of whining that now everyone else kids should be bused over so your kid isn't the only white one.

I don't see where kids are being "bused" anywhere in these scenarios. Are boundaries going to change? Yes, they have to because they need to fill a new school. But keep up your racist hysteria. It's a good look.

Can anyone post the main link to all the scenarios? I looked on APS and I can't find it. Thanks!

I'm liking scenario J - any issues I'm not aware of?

Alignment. There's a handful of PU's that got moved to Yorktown in the HS boundary process last year, so they would go: Ashlawn, Kenmore, then Yorktown in this scenario. They'd the only Kenmore PU's that would go to Yorktown, and they're already the only Ashlawn PU's going to Yorktown. This neighborhood won't get to be aligned at any point in K-12 under this scenario. I don't think that's right.

They need to balance out the demographics. Especially over at Kenmore. I hope this new board does the right thing.

The "alignment' map would improve the demographic mix at Kenmore, but it would just shift it to Jefferson. "Proximity" I would only exacerbate the demographic mix at kenmore, The "demographic" map would balance out the county nicely, but there is no way parents near Swanson will go to for that. It doesn't look like the remaining two will do too much to Kenmore.

So, parents in the Alignment map, unless you want Jefferson to be a title I school, best speak out against that option.

Interesting. Looks like those PUs are very close to Kenmore. Seems a shame to send them to Swanson. I'm wondering what those PUs prefer.

Hopefully, they can add the data/tables to go along with the blended maps. That'd be helpful.

+100. The board intentionally made this neighborhood a weird outlier on the HS redistricting, I hope they do something in the other balancing to not effectively screw these kids over and give them virtually no continuity from MS to HS. Not sure if people highlighting this to APS will result in a fix but I sure hope so...
