[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day, the downside of option 1 for the county is that by the time the boundary process is done the richest whitest s Co oils will all be under capacity while large parts of the county remain crunched. Especially because APS wants to move VPI from the northern schools and that’s partly how they are filling Jamestown now.

Optics of equity are going to be really really bad when they can’t balance capacity. [/quote]

e is no VPI at Jamestown.  Jamestown has Montessori preschool, and they’re struggling to fill those classes as it is, especially with lower-income students.  What value is there in setting aside a bunch of seats that they know will go empty when they could make other uses of the space (e.g., shifting boundaries to create more capacity elsewhere)?  Yes, Jamestown’s diversity numbers will look worse overall, but nothing will actually change because most of Jamestown’s diversity is sitting in isolated Montessori classrooms for K and then moves to other schools in first.[/quote]
