[quote=Anonymous]The shape maps really are not that bad. The overarching point of the redistricting exercise is to fix over and under utilization problems. There are currently 9 schools outside of the range, 6 below and 3 above, and 2 of the above are wayyy above. The schools out of range shrink to 4 or so in the shape maps—especially square and triangle—and this is before transfers. William Ramsay is just outside of the range, J-H above but will fall back into range since kids transfer out, and the other 2 are schools getting new buildings (GMES and CK). All while achieving the stated goals of neighborhood schools, limiting bus need, etc. And several needed policy changes will hopefully be implemented. Yes, the demographics of Barrett and Mason got messed up. You shift a couple of the proposed Mason areas back to Barrett, boom, problem solved. ACPS does a lot of things poorly, but this one is likely to actually turn out okay.[/quote]
