[quote=Anonymous][quote]As long as a boundary as ridiculously gerrymandered as Woodson's exists, then anything can be done. There is a multitude of ways that a chunk of Herndon's boundary could be given to Langley and exchanged for a chunk of that prime Great Falls real estate. Just use Woodson's boundary as a model for a reaching arm.

It's indefensible.[/quote]

Indefinsible is to take communities out of schools that they are happy with just to make you happy.  So, you want boundary adjustments just for the sake of equity?  No matter how inconvenient it is or how much pain it causes?

Do you really think it will help poor kids to put them on a bus and send them miles away from their own communitiy?  The kids who need those after school jobs?  The kids who babysit their younger siblings?  The kids who want have a way to school if they miss the bus?  The kids who will not be able to participate in after school activities because of a lack of transportation?

You really don't understand "equity."
