[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about if Wakefield drew more from the North?  This was a map drawn back when this board was discussing Kenmore, but you get the idea -- slide the red area down a bit to the south and move the southern "thumb" boarder back over toward Arlington Heights -- would that balance better?

Agree with you. I get that these issues are very complicated and forever subject to the orange-shirt phenomenon, but I really think the folks carping about what a Career Center HS would do to Wakefield are getting a bit out in front of things. The boundaries would be redrawn and it's possible to do so in a way that doesn't sink Wakefield. My house is pretty far south, so we are almost certainly Wakefield no matter what, FWIW.

And, as another FWIW, I tend to agree that this is all about Arlington Heights seeing an escape hatch from Wakefield. I personally think most of the mid-tier South Arlington folks (i.e., btwn 50 and Columbia Pike) with all their high-minded talk of diversity really just want to send diversity elsewhere so their schools' FARMS rates to improve. To each their own. Doesn't mean a Career Center site couldn't work, though I still think space is a big problem.[/quote]
