[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In adopting One Fairfax, the School Board pledged to consider equity in its decisions. The bottom line is that this redistricting proposal flies in the face of that resolution and will increase segregation within FCPS and the concentration of poverty at Jackson, Poe, and Falls Church. Any School Board member who supports it without asking FCPS staff to come back with others options is lazy, a hypocrite, or both.[/quote]

Or practical, logical, efficiently using resources and race-blind.[/quote]

There is nothing efficient about moving students from one school (Jackson) to another (Thoreau) with extra capacity, when the former also shares a boundary with a school with even more capacity (Poe).

And it's impressive that you don't see color or economic status, but that's not the world in which prior, ill-considered boundary changes by FCPS led Poe MS to lose 267 students over the past decade, many white and Asian, and see its FARMS rate increase from 46% to 72%.

And now they plan to work the same magic for Jackson MS.[/quote]
