[quote=Anonymous]PP is absolutely right. Without option schools to avoid low performing neighborhood schools, a large percentage of UMC families of all races in SA will flee. Many of them in fact move to SA once their kid is in choice, because then they don't have to worry about schools until middle and high school (and not even that if immersion). I know at least 8 families that have done that, two living now on my block. (In addition to the two families around the bend now moving before kids are in K because it is now too hard to get into any of the option schools). Only those families who care not about schools, are satisfied with the local school, or cannot afford to move will stay. I hate to bring up the subject of property values, but eliminating option schools for SA families would probably cause a measureable drop in property values in SA and an increase in NA - or people just leave the county.[/quote]
