[quote=Anonymous][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]

By Option 1, do you mean school moves or status quo? Because if you mean that the great white north will be emptier with school moves than with none I do not understand how that is possible. There is no way there are MORE kids at Nottingham, Tuckahoe, Jamestown, and Discovery if McKinley is also neighborhood.[/quote]

Opponents of school moves are fiercely wedded to the notion that Lee Highway is an impenetrable barrier that cannot be crossed by school buses (current evidence to the contrary notwithstanding), and therefore no students living south of Lee Highway could be zoned for schools north of Lee Highway to balance capacity in the northwest region.  They cannot be dissuaded from this belief because otherwise their whole argument falls apart.[/quote]
