[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I disagree that the Alignment map would turn Jefferson into a Title 1 school. You'd lose N of 50, but the neighborhoods you'd gain to the west aren't very high fr/l (mostly SFHs). Arlington Mill and everything west of it still goes Kenmore."

Actually, it would. It would take all of the low income housing in south Barcroft, the entire Barcroft apartments and all the mid-Pike low income housing and put it into jefferson. The school would gain some middle income kids in Barcorft sfh, but not enough to overcome the loss of wealthy sfh north of 50. Jefferson would become the new Kenmore. This would completely change the demographics of the school, I know these PUs well. [/quote]

We are in the Jefferson boundary in every scenario, but I don't really understand the Alignment map.  The Jefferson boundaries seem so much smaller than all the other boundaries.  How will that help with the SEVERE overcrowding at Gunston?  And those families from across 50 who walk will have to bus to Swanson?  Now [b]that[/b] seems like a huge waste of tax payer dollars.
