[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because Brent has been singled out for discipline because of the "flip" from lower income to higher income, and from black to white. [/quote]

Brent gets a failing mark for the category "maintaining socio-economic diversity" and therefore must be shaken up.   Actually, I am fine with OOB set-asides for kids from failing schools.  But since the school is already full to the gills with in boundary families ( it is a tiny school ),  the boundaries will need to be shrunk to fit in those OOB students.  SO Brent, here are your choices:  shrink your boundaries and accept some mandatory OOB students OR get in the choice set. [/quote]

That is hardly Brent's/DCPS's fault-- DC zoning and planing could make more of an effort to create low-income housing in Brent's area.  We have the Ellen Wilson place, but can't think of any other mixed income housing developments.  Any plans in the works?  What about that Friendship house development right by Eastern Market metro?[/quote]
