[quote=Anonymous]I do wonder if you could frame the discussion around what grouping of elementary schools to bundle up together for MS/HS rather than a geographic EOTP/WOTP debate or fight about where the physical schools are or a racial/class battle if you couldn't get some interest and buy in?

And when doing that you have to remember that 1)Deal and Wilson today are both still pretty diverse (though Deal rapidly less so) and 2)Lots of kids today are commuting good distances to get to Deal/Wilson.

Or to put it another way the baseline isn't an all white pair of strictly neighborhood serving schools so working towards an outcome where you get two sets of diverse high performing schools that require some of each schools population to travel isn't actually that far from what kids are currently doing but yes who has to do the traveling will change with a new set of schools and some people will win and some will lose in that scenario.

But everyone will get less crowded schools and maybe you even preserve a few OOB slots.[/quote]
