[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The CB has condemned and is continuing to condemn kids in SA to a bad education. Instead of finding ways to reduce the poor population by implementing policies that bring gentrification, this CB is doing its level best to ATTRACT poors to Arlington. If the CB continues unabated, NA will soon feel the effects. [/quote]

How?
They won’t. NA won’t have to deal with it.[/quote]

One way would be to eliminate option schools, and have NA UMC continue to tell their SA counterparts that "you get what you pay for" and "move to Fairfax". Cool. If we do that, it'll open up plenty of seats in SA schools for NA kids to get rezoned to, to alleviate overcrowding. Most SA schools are at or under capacity because people avoid them. (Exceptions being Oakridge and Henry, which were alone granted permission to gentrify.)

Then we'd get to see how you like the taste of it.[/quote]

Those SA seats will become countywide choice school seats. No problem.[/quote]

No, remember, in this scenario, we're first getting rid of option schools. [/quote]

This will never happen. They aren't going to get rid of their most diverse and successful schools for a "theory" that it will somehow encourage desegregation of neighborhood schools. Nope. They know better. They might move them around to better balance the system in places where the balance is so off within the logical zone that it can never be possible for a balance without outsiders opting to bus into the school for a special program.
