[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]is there any kind of meaningful difference in, say, a FARMS rate of 45% versus a FARMS rate of 55%?  Is there some tipping point that yields the best outcomes for low income kids?[/quote]

[b]20-25% is tipping point. [/b]RM cluster went through boundary change some time back and some one had research done on by MIT or some univ like that. BOE student member was the one who paid attention to that research at that time.

45% or 55% makes no differece. That's my recollection. I am in RM cluster but not the RM parent you guys are citing.[/quote]

Then I like the idea of having 20% seats for FARMS in Whitman and CHurchill by magnet like voluntary bussing to allow as many as FARMS kids in 20% FARMS school enviornment, [/quote]

I don’t know how many takers you will get. Many FARMS kids are offered magnet spots in CES and middle school and it is my understanding that folks often turn down the offers, preferring somewhere closer to home with families they know in their home communities. [/quote]

Presumably they won’t have a choice in long bus rides under option 3,  it that’s what is necessary to help them. [/quote]
