[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those boundaries make Wakefield poorer and Yorktown richer.  It's got 22213/22207 written all over it.[/quote]

The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any way to make contiguous boundaries around four schools, two in mid-county, one north, one south that would NOT make the northern-most overwhelmingly affluent and the southern-most overwhelmingly poor.  That's simply how housing has been divided in the county, exacerbated by county AH development priorities.  The only way to really balance 4 HS (heck, even the 3 we have now) would be to randomly assign kids to schools and deal with the transportation mess that would be.  But I can't imagine Arlington leadership ever having the political will to do that.[/quote]

Well, we're obviously not going to do that. But if the North can't make Kenmore the same kind of successful mix of kids that allows the possibility of academic success for all at W-L, then it needs to stop trying to shove this down Glen Carlyn's throat over access to extracurriculars. [/quote]
