[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bottom line is that there are people in the southern part of North Arlington who pay $1.5 million and don't want their children in the more economically and racially "diverse" schools of south Arlington.  Not saying if that's right or wrong, but it's at the heart of this whole debate and it's frustrating that nobody is just coming out and saying it.

The only real solution is to randomly assign schools throughout the district and bus.  Arlington is pretty small and this would be possible. [/quote]

While I am sure that most parents will not want their homes redistricted from WL (which IS economically and racially diverse) to Wakefield, busing is not "the only real solution" if there are no seats at Wakefield to accommodate the students when they step off the bus. Wakefield is projected to be the second most overcrowded high school after WL.

High school overcrowding is not a racial issue. The superintendent's proposal screws all of Arlington, rich, poor, black, white.  The only difference is the rich may be able to opt out of 3000 student schools and double shifts.
