[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to hear more about the magical high school redistricting plan that is going to balance out socioeconomic levels by introducing this new school at Kenmore in the South.  Tell me, what parents from the North are going to be accepting the redistricting of their snowflakes from W-L to Kenmore with no stadium, no pool, and apparently a major pedestrian safety issue?  Isn't Kenmore located so far to the south that balancing out rich/poor this way will be basically impossible?

Moreover, even if you're not committed to trying to balance this stuff out, aren't you in fact making things demonstrably worse by moving a bunch of poorer kids out of W-L to Kenmore?  Doesn't this just de-diversify W-L?  [/quote]

Meh, move a bunch of the eastern Yorktown neighborhoods there along with part of W-L.[/quote]

This. Check a map. They only way to rebalance would cut a swath through the north western part of the county. You'd have to ship a bunch of PU's currently zoned Yorktown to the new Kenmore. It's not hard to see how it works. Now go tell all the people that "bought into Yorktown" that they will now be attending a very racially and economically diverse high school that doesn't have some of the basics.... and lawsuits in 3..2..1...
Can't wait to see the articles in the Post. We already look like a bunch of assholes after the most recent redistricting debacle and then the whole sign fiasco at Ytown. What have we got to lose? We've shown our asses.[/quote]
