[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The proposed 10% set aside is just small door through the wall that they're trying to build around neighborhood schools. [b]It would never displace kids who are in-boundary for any school. [/b]It's merely a way to avoid completely closing off access to people who can't afford the zip code. It would be foolish to move next to a low-income school merely for the long, long shot of winning a lottery seat at a better school.[/quote] So what happens when the in-boundary population of a school grows to more than 90% of its capacity. Do they shrink the boundaries or enlarge the school? If the answer is they shrink the boundaries, then, yes, someone is being displaced. If they always grow the school they've limited flexibility. You're basically back in the mess they're in now where the boundaries can never change once they're set. Just another aspect of the not-well-thought-out nature of the proposals.[/quote]
