[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, in looking at the maps, my first question is about the zones.  They seem contrived and certainly aren't even.  Why are there only 2 schools in Zone 4?  Why is Taylor Zone 2 and McK zone 1?  If those switched, how would it impact the deficits.  It feels like manipulated data.[/quote]

Of course it’s contrived. This is a map that illustrates the issues that boundary process will involve. It’s an exaggeration for effect, not an actual proposal. It’s labeled as such. Can people not read, or do they just not bother?[/quote]

The zones are done to match the county planning transportation corridors- because that's how their growth forecasts are.  I don't think the zones matter as much as looking at the map and thinking about the need to redraw boundaries and move Key immersion from the Key school site.  
For those of you who are saying this is an awful map- and a 4th grader could have done better- do you think there is a 'better' map that 1) doesn't involve moving any current option schools and 2) utilizes the full capacity of every school?[/quote]
