[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they need to draw Drew's boundaries FIRST.  Figure out how to balance the new school with areas close by.  Then draw the boundaries for Randolph and Fleet and Barcroft and see what makes sense.  But to just see Randolph as untouchable is hurting the process for everyone. The whole point of redoing the boundaries is that things are going to change.[/quote]

Yes, to this. I also don't understand why the large PU currently zoned for Barcroft and nearest to Fleet isn't being zoned for Fleet - and the answer last night about crossing the intersection made little sense.

Honestly, this process is so disheartening. First they gerrymander the boundaries, and now they're cooking the FRL numbers. I don't know how I can take them seriously at all. Should we refocus the conversation on test scores then? I'm not sure how to get them to do the right thing -- it's just super sad to witness.

I'm not sure I buy the intersection argument but I will say Arlington overall has some geographic issues that enforce certain segregation. 50 is a physical barrier between north and south. Even if the kids across Glebe are walkable to Fleet it's not super likely that many elementary school kids would/should cross Glebe. Frustrating? Absolutely. But it's not completely unreasonable as a debate point.[/quote]

Somehow I'd missed the inclusion of 37041 and 37042 at Fleet. Ok, this map is officially BS.[/quote]
