[quote=Anonymous]I agree that the scenarios are all pretty tolerable for the Janney, Lafayette, Murch families that remain in boundary for those schools. I think, however that it is silly to make them controlled choice and mix up the families going to them given that they are doing so well now. They don't need a specialized program at one of those schools. Put those resources elsewhere. I also think the NW boundary changes make senses and all the schools that the boundaries are moving homes between are very good schools and will continue to get better. Further I support making slots at these schools available to children serves by low performing schools. That said, unless there is an income weight I fear that the majority of those set aside seats will go to high SES families zoned for low performing schools that have the resources to get their kids across town daily. This will not do much to close the achievement gap.[/quote]
