I don't see why that option shouldn't be on the table.  But it may be more politically possible in the form of choice versus "forced" busing.

There are currently some boundaries drawn that in effect already act to integrate in this way.  Check out the BCC cluster boundaries.[/quote]

Yeah, and my kids go to one of the diverse schools in the BCC cluster and half of the white families in the neighborhood won't send their kids to the school because there are too many poor and minority students.

For where? Howard County? Baltimore County? Virginia? [/quote]

I am up for moving to VA.  Won't have to switch jobs and schools there aren't subject to the Common Core Standards.  I have also considered transferring to Texas.  Beyond that, I am looking into private schools in the DC area.[/quote]
