Doesn't seem to be any great way to geographically distribute kids. Maybe a choice school would make more sense. [/quote]

This map works for me. I live in the WF zone. I'm comfortable with the current demographics. This map looks like it could slightly improve them, and that's nice. It would also keep YHS quite wealthy/white. This doesn't bother me because I assume people who choose to live there already know and like what they're getting. There are some people who care about diversity and some who don't. Assuming we can give all schools a fair shake at succeeding (i.e., don't crush one school with over 50% FARMS), then beyond that I think we should let people make their own choices. There is a lot of wealth in the north and no good way to break that up. The south is more mixed and this map helps to break up some of the concentrated areas.

Unclear to me whether the WL would mind being made more wealthy/white or not, but if it's really something they value enough, they can move. This looks like a decent solution for the entire county to me. [/quote]

I think you are misreading this map. It would make WL The wealthier, whiter school and would change the dynamics of Yorktown. That sliver between col Pike and 50 has a very high concentration of affordable housing. [/quote]
