[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nauck is a hard to understand situation. There is a huge history to that area. There are some local activists that think it’s going to be wonderful as a neighborhood school and don’t really understand the performance issues. Or think that once the performance issues are out in the open- they will be fixed... [/quote] Here's the other thing. In 1990, Nauck was 90% African-American, now it is down to about a third. It is partly gentrified and partly just diversified. The "community" doesn't have any kind of collective view on things anymore, although the older A-A residents still dominate the civic association -- and the county's perception of who they need to be responsive to. It is going to be a very difficult conversation because the Drew boundaries are where all these racial discussions are going to get hashed out in public. [/quote]
