Oh please. There have been many of us advocating on these issues to both the school and county boards for YEARS. and "forced busing" isn't the only way to improve socioeconomic diversity within the schools. Those of use who have been in this conversation WITH the TWO boards over the years have made various arguments and [b]proposed various ways[/b] forward. But people have only so much energy, time, and tolerance for the ignorance, politics, and denialism of both boards who find it easier to just point their fingers at each other.[/quote]

It would be honestly easier and better than the unpopular forced bussing to make changes via other means.   Just one example - allow the Montessori parents at Jamestown (who are there because they chose it) to remain at the school.  Add VPI classes (to be chosen with a possibility to remain at that elementary) at the other far North elementary schools with FLR less than 10%.      It will not be the same as changing the housing landscape, but the effects will be immediate and noticeable.   Worked at ATS.
