[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly changes on Option 4? Trying to compare maps and my eyes are watering.[/quote]

Pretty much all of the boundaries for the schools on the map (compare colors to thick line borders) in relatively minor ways that allegedly creates much better at risk balancing, but of course they don't share the specifics. Also, they admit the utilization rates don't really work (in particular, I can't see how JOW remains a viable school if you shrink it's boundary further, unless there are adjustments to the areas of its boundary that you can't see on this map) and I'd be curious to see what this would do to L-T's IB population size, because it looks to be a pretty substantial increase of its boundary. All that said, it seems like this could have been a promising approach if this is how they had started on day 1. There are definitely winners and losers though, so every school's population would be somewhat up in arms most likely, so I don't think it's something they could just drop now with no further engagement (especially as they haven't engaged with some of these schools at all previously, since their boundaries weren't affected by any of the proposals).[/quote]
