[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The model is not designed only to get kids short bus rides. It is also designed to equalize academic opportunities along the east/west divide (given that the county is highly segregated by race and class east to west). So it’s not simply that they put the closest high schools in groups together.[/quote] No, that wouldn't make any sense. If it wasn't about shortening and equalizing bus rides, they could just increase the number of spots at existing high quality magnets, which would be both cheaper and a better way to ensure a known, equal quality of programming for all students. The only way the regional model makes sense and is justified is if it gives all kids access to programs within a a short (like 30 minute or less) bus ride from their homes.[/quote]
