[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty much anyone arguing for strictly geography to be considered. Also, it's mostly classism. So there's that. [/quote]  Bullshit.  The is efficiency, contiguity and alignment which most people would probably list if not even looking at any sort of demographic numbers. My spouse looked at the demographics that were available outside of just the free lunch data and the fact of the matter is that most if the poorer neighborhoods are clustered in the south do it is really difficult to achieve balance among all 3 schools. As others have noted in prior postings above the county is largely to blame for approving all of the affirdable units in the south with no requirement to factor in how this impacts the current school system.[/quote]

Wait. Hold on just a minute there! Are you telling me that the south side of Arlington has a lot of poor people?!?! Gosh, thank goodness your spouse checked into this.  You guys have just blown my mind!  
Well, since it is the way the county planned it, we should just stick with efficiency, contiguity, and alignment. The county screwed the pooch, so oh well!
Yes, only walkability should be considered. Oh, that puts Wakefield at 63% poverty? Huh.[/quote]

Whatever. He was just trying to see how much more data there was on actual populations not just free lunch, asshole to see how to divvy up the zones to distribute across 3 high schoold without major disruption everyone.  All I am saying about the others people's posts implying thst demographics is the number one factor, I disagree.  Most t rational people would want to be close to their school and with other students they grew up with and not have the county pay for more buses.  The peopke at aps stated at the 10/12 meeting that demographics was not a primary factor but 1 of 6.[/quote]

I'm so glad you and your husband are taking the geography into account. So I can count on your support to redraw Yorktown's boundaries to include much of the West Pike?[/quote]

Can yoy provide explicit pLanning units so we can look at whether the enrollment would balance? Don't know what is meant by west pike?[/quote]
