[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It almost seems like what should be required from the North to succeed in getting the Kenmore 4th Comprehensive High School is an actual commitment from enough parents in high real estate areas to send their kids there.[/quote]

Would this help keep the HSs balanced?

Would this approx map work for most people? Assuming four full comprehensive HSs.  [/quote]

In theory, it looks fine, however our PU is one of those that would move in this scenario from Yorktown to Kenmore.  I'd want to know what the general FARMS % the SB would expect with re-zoning that looked like this hypothetical.  I'm not in love with Yorktown, but if my family were moved from a school with a very low FARMS rate to one where it's 40% or more, yeah, I'd be upset not just for the realities of that school environment for my family but for the huge hit to my property value.

For the SB to do Kenmore without totally screwing over the poor kids, they have to make a good faith effort not to just "sacrifice" a handful of well-off kids.  There needs to be a real, true effort to balance.
