[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If a school has to be zoned out of Deal, I don't see the logic of Shepard staying in. It's the most remote geographically from Deal, and east-west transit connections are not great.[/quote] But Shepherd is 94% non-white and Deal is 59% non-white. Removing any feeder school that is more diverse than Deal makes Deal less diverse. This is the fundamental, unsolvable problem with redistricting Deal: the schools that are further away are more diverse. Any redistricting that increases geographic compactness decreases diversity, and vice versa. There is just no way around this.[/quote] And just to piggyback on this point, I believe the Justice Department issued guidance on how schools districts can consider race/diversity when redrawing boundaries. Pretty confident that Shepherd would stay in the mix. [/quote]
