[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know when they put the slideshows online. I'd love to look at it before the presentation tonight. [/quote]

All the information is here: https://www.apsva.us/post/aps-begins-process-resetting-middle-school-boundaries/ including a link to the presentation from the SB Work Session.  I haven't seen the presentation for tonight's community meetings.[/quote]

Thanks, pp.  I don't have a horse in this race, per se, as my kids will go to TJ in almost any scenario, but it seems like this could be a time to finally really shake up the boundaries and make the socioeconomic demographics more equal across schools.[/quote]

So you do have a fog in this fight, you want them to raise your GS rating of your zoned school. [/quote]

Um, no.  Not low income students have the same GS scores at TJ and at Swanson (I just looked it up).  So my UMC kid will likely do fine at any school.  Low income kids do better when they aren't all in one school.

Given that so many kids have to ride busses already, APS should use the rezoning process to balance things out a bit.[/quote]
