[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My bad, i read the table wrong. Yes, the numbers are all about the same.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Option 1&3: Churchill Asian increased from 33% to 37%, FARMS decreased from 10.9% to 9.9%. Wootton Asian increased from 37.4% to 43.2% and FARMS decreased from 13.4% to 11.9%.

I'm pretty sure the current options will exacerbate educational inequality, but I amsatisfied. I wonder can we reduce the FARMS  to 5% or even lower for Churchill?[/quote]

Are we looking at different data set? For all 4 options, Churchill Asian decrease from 37% to34.7% and farm from 9.9% to 9.8%.[/quote][/quote]

So why even mess with Wootton families and force them to move out to QO and crown? There are only losers and the ones being moved out are the relatively poorer ones. Financial hit on them will be devastating. What’s even worse is that their kids will have to be separated from their friends. This kind of double whammy is too much. [/quote]

Every school is going to experience change when a new school opens. They are not going to leave Wootton and Churchill as is in a boundary study. Can you imagine the backlash? And at least for Wootton there are definitely neighborhoods in the Wootton cluster close to Crown, some even walking distance like part of Fallsmead's boundary. And DuFief area is nowhere near Wootton. Ridgeview or Lakelands Park and QO makes much more sense for DuFief.[/quote]

"Imagine the backlash" Please. Whitman barely changed, do you think anybody is going to care outside of some grumbling? These schools are affected where it makes sense to change them, but fear of backlash only exists in the minds of DCUM.[/quote]
