[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen even if you move Columbia Heights to Drew and every middle class kid attends it is still going to be extremely high poverty. Drew and Randolph cannot be fixed without North Arlington. All this hand wringing, mud slinging, allegations of gerrymandering wont matter, don’t matter. Besides at least one of those Henry Planning Units is Douglas Park. [/quote]

They aren't ever going to be "fixed," as you put it. Not ever will there be a boundary for a neighborhood school that includes neighborhoods in North Arlington, simply because of geography. If we had a choice system, or turned one or both into option locations, maybe things would be different, but that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about adjacent PUs not being moved and rather a crazy boundary that crosses to the other side of 4MR, to protect the housing investments of those individuals who "bought" a "good" school when it was Henry. Just because you can't do everything, doesn't mean you should do nothing. This is seriously the most effed up thing yet. Nobody promised the future Henry community that their PUs would be grandfathered in perpetuity. Nobody. Not any more credible than saying "boofing" is just a term you used for flatulence. [/quote]
