[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't look like the J map does much at all for demographics. If I'm reading it right, it basically keeps the existing boundaries in the south of the county, no?[/quote]

I think demographics are tough to address without bussing, which I think most parents would not want. The "demographics" map is tough because you don't want to move PUs right next to Swanson down to Kenmore. The PUs in Lyon Park & around the Pentagon could move to the new school, but does that cause overcrowding?

PP here, I agree with you it's going to be tough to balance the desire for walkability with demographic balance. I posted the question about about whether Swanson is walkable for those units to the south of 66. I assume so, just don't know the area. I have no dog in this fight because we are Gunston all the way, but I'm guessing this process won't do much for Kenmore and that's too bad. It's tough to fight the basics of county demographics and geography.[/quote]
