[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm staring at the elementary boundary map and really torn on this. The Staff was interested in moving option schools out of walk zones. Now they are thinking of clustering Carlin Springs, Campbell, and Barcroft-- which are all adjacent to each other- as option schools. That has the most concentrated poverty in all of Arlington. Its also a very transient population- which makes option schools tough. (It's hard to apply to a school in April, when you don't expect to still be in the same apartment come August.) I am fairly uncomfortable with the optics. It reminds me of closing historically black schools and busing those kids for desegregation. (Yes- they can apply to the option schools if they are with it enough...) [/quote] I hear you, but... is there another feasible plan to integrate those very high poverty schools? Is it better to just let Carlin Springs, Randolph, and Barcroft continue as they are? [/quote]
