Why does the building have to be in Ward 4 or 5? Because no where and no one made this a requirement.  Oh right, to reduce the number of blacks.  [/quote]

Don’t be ridiculous. All three campuses are currently in Ward 4 and 5 (both majority black wards, by the way). The school wants to be in Ward 4 where two out of three campuses are.[/quote]

You think that PK agreed children in Ward 4 are majority black in Ward 4? Near Kingsbury?  Go take a walk in the neighborhood.[/quote]

While this is true and I have kids at Powell, it's just the nature of the city at the moment. I'm black and in all fairness the new proposed location is still in the Ward where Lamb first started.

The point of LAMB is to serve a Latin American population, as well as the rest of the city. LAMB is not allowed to give any preferences to Spanish dominant. Therefore it needs to locate nearby to Hispanic populations as much as it can, given the limited options for buildings. Pretty straightforward.[/quote]
