[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone chime in and play devil’s advocate, from the school board’s perspective, how is this boundary shift supposed to benefit the students? [/quote] They believe that by reducing split feeders and attendance islands, that school attendance will improve. Especially in lower income areas. If a kid in a low income apartment complex misses the bus, they might not have another way to get to school. But if they lived close enough, they could at least walk. And that parent participation/involvement/sense of community will increase if all the kids are attending their closest schools. Again, this is more an issue in the lower SES areas.[/quote]
