[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was expecting a range of options on the demographics/equalizing FARMS dimension.  But options 1, 2 and 4 do basically nothing to improve on that front, or in some cases make things worse.  And option 3 is only a moderate improvement, the kind of thing I would have expected as a middle-ground option between "no improvement on demographics/diversity" and "significant improvement on demographics/diversity."

I feel like all the options other than #3 are non-starters. #3 has plenty of flaws but it feels like we need to focus on iterating off of it to make it better.  It's ridiculous to have some schools with 6% FARMS rates and some schools with over 60% FARMS rates (or up to 75% at some middle schools!) and have 3 of the 4 options not do a thing to try to address that.

Option 3 has most wacky boundaries and you’re looking for even more wacky boundaries [/quote]

I think there are ways to fix #3 (especially if you focus on "kids not having too long of a commute" and not "avoiding boundaries that look weird") so let's figure that out and advocate for those changes.[/quote]

No. #3 is a terrible option. I don’t understand why we can’t have community schools. I’m tired of driving all over and my kids spending 90 minutes a day on the bus! [/quote]
