[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What nobody seems to be able to get into their head, much less accept, is that Wilson is NOT going to be exclusively white and high SES.  If that means gerrymandering Hardy into Cardozo, then so be it.

There is no education plan that eliminates Ellington, or removes Shepherd from Deal.  (Not without suicide.)[/quote]

If you are concerned about eliminating non-white, non-SES students from Hardy, how can you possibly put "gerrymandering Hardy into Cardozo" on the table?   You do know that Hardy is 78% AA/Hispanic, don
t you?  And you do know that Hardy sends more AA/Hispanic students to Wilson than feed into Wilson from Shepherd via Deal, don't you?

If you have to eliminate either Shepherd (via Deal) or Hardy as a Wilson feeder, and you want to ensure that AA/Hispanic students continue to have the opportunity to attend Wilson, then eliminating Shepherd and keeping Hardy is a no-brainer.

I know that Hardy is mostly OOB whereas the Shepherd catchment into Deal is by right of address.  So, Shepherd = diversity + proximity.  Hardy does not.[/quote]

This actually makes the case much stronger for Hardy.   Shepherd does not have proximity - it is 68% OOB and is closer to Roosevelt.   And Hardy sends more AA/Hispanic kids to Wilson than Shepherd (via Deal).   So there is really no case at all for cutting out Hardy and leaving in Shepherd.   Sorry Shepherd boosters.

Shepherd is 68% OOB. It's really impossible to make a case for one over the other.[/quote][/quote]
