[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will never make everyone happy but these options make the most sense. Also there is supposed to be a demographic cliff at some point, with fewer children being born resulting of course in fewer students in our schools.[/quote]

Except on facility utilization and demographics, two of the four factors and these options are terrible on these[/quote]

Might as well give up on trying to equalize demographics unless you want super long bus rides for poor kids.

Or change housing policy.[/quote]

No, they could have done better instead of making everything worse. There is zero excuse, by the way, for 2 schools within a mile of each other to have such vastly different FARMS rates[/quote]

Yes, a good obsrvation.

WJ and Woodward is less than mile and yet double the FARMS rate in Woodward compared to WJ.

A very poor job. Some time it's not possible to balance evrything, but that's not the case here.[/quote]

Lol, so funny how many of you care about inequities in FARMS rates when it comes to WJ vs Woodward and act like your kids are being rezoned to a Title I school when the disparity between WJ and the DCC has been far more massive for years and nobody has cared. I don’t think it’s a good thing that WJ is decreasing in its FARMS rate, but the difference in FARMS rate between WJ and Woodward likely won’t be that huge. In most options, Woodward sits at 27% FARMS (and it will probably be lower than that because of private school unenrollment in the DCC areas moved to Woodward). Even the difference in FARMS rates between BCC and Whitman is worse than that between WJ/Woodward.[/quote]
