[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way back when Chicago schools were extremely segregated there was a big lawsuit. The Winston Churchill or TJ school with “best teachers” and “”best facilities” was forced to take all the students from the inner city run down school with “bad teachers”

Literally all the students switched schools. Guess what happened. The bad school grades and scores shot up and those bad teachers became good teachers almost overnight.

The good school became a bad school. So much is the teachers and parents. [/quote]

*shrug*

Here are the facts:

1. There will be a boundary study
2. The boundary study will have a public input process
3. Boundaries will change
4. Some people will complain
5. The sky will not fall[/quote]

[b]In previous boundary changes, has the public input process ever amounted to significant change from the presented options?[/b] Or is it just a venting process meant to make people feel like they are heard?[/quote]

Yes, it often leads to additional options.[/quote]

Initially, BCC was supposed to be part of the DCC being downcounty and all, but the parents successfully lobbied to keep it separate.[/quote]
