[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not the entire county. 
South Arlington is allowed to have different priorities. [/quote]

Ask the Henry parents or the Oakridge parents whether they'd give up on walking to further demographic diversity. Arlington Heights can be bused to Randolph and Arlington Ridge can ride past Oakridge to get to Drew. And we'll send half of Douglas Park to Abingdon, and put Fairlington just over 395 to Drew. Let me know where to show up for the walk and what color t-shirt to wear.

I'm sorry to be snarky but the point is there is not widespread support for different priorities when one's own school boundary is at risk. The notable silence on equity issues coming from the Henry/CASE folks is only one example. I think the best way to advocate for Drew, i.e., the purpose of this thread, is to make concrete points about how this proposal is not consistent with APS's own criteria, and to provide alternatives that are consistent with what APS says it looks for. People have tried to get APS and the Board to elevate diversity over other priorities in the past. I'm one of those people. They will not do it because there are too many people on the other side.[/quote]
