Yes it will - the more diverse portion of the population is on the outer fringes of the existing boundaries. If they readjust the boundaries to a closer walk zone around the school, it gets richer and whiter. [/quote]

The more diverse population part is in Courthouse and Rosslyn.  They will probably still be in the neighborhood zone for ASFS, but not Key (as that will fall off as an automatic guaranteed option).[/quote]

[b]Those are the kids who get busses now. [/b]If they move the boundaries to make it more walkable, they would drop off and increase the kids from Lyon Village and Cherrydale. More white, more $$.[/quote]

The ASFS kids in Lyon Village also get a bus. If you add the western part of LV to the SF zone, couldn't you move the LV kids someplace else, given that they're on a bus anyway? Not sure who would take them -- "Affluent white kids! We got affluent white kids here! Gitcher white kids!"[/quote]
[b]That's insane science focus is the closest school why wood you buds them somewhere much further[/b][/quote]

To make room for the kids who can actually walk to ASFS once it becomes a neighborhood school.Those students have been bused to Taylor for years while LV has been bused to ASFS.  Makes no sense.  Since many LV students have to be on a bus no matter what ES they attend why not bus them to Discovery or Jamestown where there's space.[/quote]

Ah I see it's the Lyon Village hater who has been peeved that SF went her neighborhood school. Now she wants penance to make those LV students to drive past their former neighborhood school out to Taylor. I'm sorry you are still closer to Taylor than the LV folk so you may stil have to be bused -- LV will go to SF. Look at Ashlawn crazy boundary, just how it is.

Some of Rosslyn may go to Long Branch, but Clarendon and Cherrydale will end up at SF which includes lyon village. [/quote]
