[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your neighborhood school have less than 20% FARMS? Congratulations! Your neighborhood is now the #1 place for mixed-income housing development in DC! You say the low-income housing just won't look right in your neighborhood? Please see the Ellen Wilson "project" within Brent's neighborhood as an example of mixed-income housing that can fit in beautifully in a community. [/quote] As a percentage of all kids in DC, FARMS are way overrepresented in DCPS. If your goal is truly to increase economic diversity, the question should be, how do we attract more middle and high class kids to public schools and charters? The crazy ideas I am hearing, I am afraid, will DECREASE economic diversity.[/quote]
