[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is really going to be helped by this kind of musical chairs approach to redistricting? Are kids who move from WJ to Churchill , or Churchill to Wootton, really going to be better off? Will it signficantly change the FARMS mix of the various schools? Seems like a lot of inconvenience to families for not much in the way of concrete results.

Shift people around as little as possible to deal with disparities in capacity in the various schools --- which even critics will find defensible, even if it is not something that they welcome -- and leave it at that.

DP... despite what some people think, the boundary analysis is not just about diversity. It's taking a look at our current boundaries, and even in the western side of the county, some of the boundaries are wacky.  Those need to be redrawn, too.  [/quote]

Why fix boundaries where there isn’t a problem?  Do you want them to all be a perfect circle?  Never going to happen. It’s wasteful and harms communities and kids to break up schools.  [/quote]

Because there are several problems that have been discussed ad museum already. [/quote]

But not all clusters have problems. Some PPs seem to want a perfectly symmetrical map.[/quote]

Who wants a perfectly symmetrical map?  [/quote]
