[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The facts show that the number of TJ students actually enrolled at TJ has NOT decreased.

In fact, if you look at the four years before the admissions change and the four years after, there are, on average, MORE Asian students at TJ today.

Again, the admission changes weren't about REDUCING the number of Asian students; they were about ADDING others. It wasn't zero sum - they added seats to open up access to kids from across the county. There are just as many Asian students there today as there were before.

TJHSST is a community resource that should provide opportunities to kids from all across the county, not just a handful of feeder schools.

It should not be based on race.[/quote]

It’s not.

A portion of the seats are allocated by middle school. The rest are open. None are based on race. [/quote]

All but 100 seats are allocated by middle school and the reason they are allocated by middle school without a testing component was to try and achieve racial balance.

The process is engineered to achieve racial outcomes.[/quote]
