Why would they call this one tenant out over the others, and "strive" to achieve this?  Yes, "whenever possible".. which, as I stated, means not sending kids from one side of the county to another but, as indicated on the BOE docs, looking at *neighboring* clusters to achieve balance, both in overcrowding and diversity.  Churchill is a neighboring cluster to RM.

Of course BOE isn't going to state publicly that they want to focus on "diversity" more. People from wealthier clusters would be up in arms, just like BOE wouldn't say publicly that changing the magnet criteria wasn't about "diversity" (even though that's what Metis report focused on) it was about "peer cohort".

Whatever findings come out of the boundary report, you can be sure there will be focus on "diversity" just as the Metis report did, and just as the Metis report precipitated changes to the magnet acceptance, this boundary report will produce some changes to the wealthier clusters.[/quote]

This is classic conspiracy-theory stuff.

Conspiracy theorist: [Conspiracy theory]
Somebody else: [A fact that counters the conspiracy theory]
Conspiracy theorist: See, that just proves that the conspiracy theory is true!

Didn't they vote to prioritize diversity over the other criteria just a few months back? Like the PP said the diversity train/bus is a commin'. Accept it or get run over.[/quote]

There's no diversity bus coming so stop with the ignorant statements. Yes, diversity must be considered when redrawing boundaries among other criteria. My question is, why is striving for a diverse school a bad thing? [/quote]
