[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]trying to find the research on the 20%, here's one about FCPS, but covering a lot of other ground as well:

see p. 7 for discussion of study results mentioning the 20%[/quote]

Helpful. There have not to be others out there too. Someone mentioned MIT had a study?

Need to write up this proposal as an Option 5/stalking horse that solves a lot of problems. [/quote]

They are not going to do that. You do not help low income kids by making them travel 40 minutes to a "centralized bus stop" to take them 40 minutes to Whitman.

From the above link is research on Montgomery County based on our inclusionary zoning program. If you really want to help, fight like hell for affordable apartments in wealthy areas. Oh wait, do you not want to do that?

[quote]Swartz (2010) then found that students living in public housing and attending schools with 20 percent or less poverty outperformed public housing students who attended schools with more than 20 percent in reading. For math, Swartz found that the students attending schools with a poverty level below 35 percent outperformed students at schools with a poverty level above 35 percent. In this study, the researcher provided evidence for the existence of a tipping point; but, there was no particular plan of action taken. This lack of action was also due to the fact that Montgomery County already has a means to ensure economic integration through their housing policy.[/quote]
