[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But it also has a significant number of not at risk kids in boundary who do not attend the school.  If the school made some changes to improve and got those kids to attend, Miner could have very different school demographics.  [/quote]

Very good point. The boundary committee is focused on the kind of changes that impact seats and capacity but not necessarily strategies for improvement. Reducing out of bound seats, limiting charters, pushing wealthier families from west to east, combining poorer and wealthier populations, etc. are all ideas being advanced. Can't say whether these are good or bad ideas as there is a stunning lack of data and analysis.[/quote]

How are they pushing wealthier families west to east?  They're clearly trying to do the converse with at-risk set-asides and move at-risk families east to west.[/quote]

It was an idea floated. I don't think the boundary committee is actually doing anything but reviewing and proposing ideas. Some will be adopted and some won't be.[/quote]
