[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard the collective is the YHS zone that is fighting against diversifying and adding brown kids to their school.  They are out in force on these boards minority bashing.

They are the ones arguing to get the million dollar home white kids over to their school so they won't have more apartment kids bussed over.[/quote]

Which scenarios would actually add much diversity to Yorktown? Since the units moved have to be contiguous to the existing boundary, its not exactly like you can add neighborhoods off columbia pike to yorktown. Which areas in play would add actual diversity, even in income? [/quote]

the eastern units around the Pike.  They are contiguous to the yorktown island, and thus fair game for sending to Yorktown.[/quote]

Those are zoned WL and can only be moved to Wakefield. [/quote]

Not according to the boundary tool. I was able to rezone those to Yorktown. [/quote]

On the EASTERN Pike? Penrose? No that's wakefield[/quote]

I just moved all the PU's along the eastern pike that are currently W-L to Yorktown and moved Arlington Forest into Wakefield and came out to all greens, except for the first year remains yellow at Wakefield. Advantages: the kids on the eastern pike are already bus riders no matter which of the three HS they would attend. Arlington Forest would be reunited (the southside is already zoned Wakefield and the northside kids already attend MS at Kenmore), plus this better balances the demographics between Wakefield, YHS, and W-L. This would not be a seismic shift for anyone, but it also won't push Wakefield above 50% FARM's while making W-L less economically diverse. And only a part of one of those Arlington Forest PU's is in the walk zone, but it's the very edge of the walk zone.
