[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the county’s fault for concentrating affordable housing in certain areas, rather than spreading it out.

Nothing changes till that does, ‘cause ain’t nobody going to go for busing all over the place.[/quote]

exactly, the choice school debate is just a distraction by people who don't like choice schools. [/quote]

Check out the agenda for tonight's School Board meeting. APS is planning to make MPSA a lot larger.  Look at the who attends HB in a new building, AT is getting a new building and now MPSA. These are the least diverse option schools in APS and making them larger will make inequity in SA schools worse. [/quote]
The Spanish immersion programs support diversity and inclusion by their very nature.

HB allocates seats by elementary school with very few seats per school, so doesn't move the needle in any significant way.

This conversation seems to be about the other programs with Montessori, ATS and Campbell being the primary targets.

Disagree about HB. Theoretically, if we have so many non-white schools and so many diverse option schools and a few "more diverse" SA neighborhood schools, that's about half of the elementary schools. And ASFS supposedly has a diverse population as well, right? So a program drawing proportionately from all of those schools should be more reflective of the overall student demographics.

The problem isn't the admissions policy of HB; it's the people who are not applying and/or getting in to HB. When Carlin Springs sends zero students to HB, another schools' applicants get to take their spots.[/quote]
