[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to a better job of focusing on economic development and housing policy to combat SES-based segregation.  You can do some modest level of redistricting and bussing to improve balance at schools wherever reasonable/feasible, but unless you address the underlying root issue you're just going to have to contort these strategies farther and farther over time to achieve some semblance of balance or equity, and we're already basically at the point where the costs begin to outweigh the benefits in many cases.

This is a long-term issue, and instead we're debating over which band-aids are the right ones to apply. That's not to say you can't have both long-term AND short-term strategies, but overall the policy focus for addressing these challenges seems terribly myopic and neglecting the changes we'd need to make for sustainable solutions.[/quote]

Face it, most of the really needy kids are a result of our lack of border control.  There were lots that came in when Obama ordered DACA.  Those were unaccompanied.  Do you really think Fairfax should be providing condos for them?[/quote]
