[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hilarious thing is that literally no one is suggesting busing - just balancing the boundaries a little to deal with schools that are overcrowded near schools that have space.

This means the MOST segregated communities are the safest, since their boundaries are least likely to touch an integrated school zone.

Nothing has actually been proposed yet so no one knows exactly what will be coming.  Some of the rhetoric from the BOE certainly could be used to support busing so fears about busing are [b]not completely unfounded[/b], although maybe premature.[/quote]

Hee hee.

No, they're not 100% unfounded, they're just about 99% unfounded.[/quote]

I don't agree.  You have a BOE who has made it very, very clear that closing the achievement gap is a, if not the, main thing they are focused on.  There has been plenty of other talk about changing borders to achieve greater diversity.

Given that it will be hard to really make much of a difference on either front by just tinkering with the borders, I don't think it is unreasonable at all to think that they might wind up supporting busing that goes beyond border tinkering once it becomes clear that tinkering won't achieve their objectives.[/quote]
